Difference?

Ladies pleasee be honest, do yall see a difference ? The first pic in red is in May and second pic in blue is NOW. I feel like its sooo obvious that my butt got way smaller. I did lose a few pounds but of course it had to be from my buttocks instead of my stomach area😤 i have been working out doing lots of lower body, weight lifting and this is the only differnce i notice. I recently started drinking protein shakes to see if that helps some with building muscle.

Any other tips??

Cuz im feeling like i should of not ever tried to lose weight. Since im losing it in all the wrong places of course😖
