Gaining muscle but not losing weight?

Question

I’m 5’3 and 155 but my goal weight is 130. I can see more defiance in my abs and stomach area but I’m still the same body weight as a I started? Idk it’s making me less motivated and I feel like everything I’m trying to do is not going right 😕 I’m trying to get fit by prom and lose some belly fat, stretch marks, and love handles. I track my eating and I constantly workout at the gym. I eat fruits and veggies throughout the day. Ugh. Idk anymore. Some tips?

Answer

You gain muscle before losing fat. just think of it as a bonus. Try not weighing yourself often because you become anxious. We view ourselves differently in mirrors so you won’t see much of a different for a while then if someone else would to be looking at you. I would take a picture every 2 weeks maybe longer and then you will see a difference. Time and patience is all you need :)

Answer

Fruits and veggies isn't gonna help weight loss. High fat low carb/👌👌 plus intermittent fasting is a great tool to lose weight. Highly recommend. And yeah, muscle weighs more so I get watching the scale, but if you're losing fat and gaining muscle at the gym then you probably won't see the scale go down. You might end up seeing it go up depending on how much fat you lose and how much muscle you gain.

Answer

Muscle weighs more than fat because it’s denser. When you lose fat, but gain muscle, you won’t see much movement on the scale. A better way to track progress is your measurements and body fat percentage, since weight can be misleading.
