Help- weight loss or muscle loss??

Question

Hi so I'm 15 and in January I weighed around 75-80 kilos. I am a surfer and I row so weighing around that is pretty normal because of muscle.

Today, after stopping rowing for 3 months due to injuries I saw I weighed 60kg.

I'm a little confused, because when my body looked it's best was when I was heavier rather than lighter?! Is this because fat is lighter than muscle so I've lost muscle and fat has taken its place? Please help

Answer

All it means is you've lost muscle strength. Once you get back in it and work out and build your muscles up again the scales will go back to what it used to be. I advise not to check the scales much as it isn't an accurate representation of how healthy you are. Until you can workout again and whilst you're injured try eating healthy and maintain a balanced diet

Answer

Yes fat is lighter than muscle.. Some days I feel so light and feel more stronger then I check my weight and I am stunt.. When I was 58 kilos I felt I had love handles but I'm 72 now and I feel good about my body..
