If you are getting stronger & clothes fit better then you are making progress despite what the scale says. If you stay at a calorie deficit, lift consistently and keep protein intake high the fat will eventually come off.

Do you know what your daily calorie & protein intake is? I'd start with 2000 calories & 175 grams of protein daily. As you adjust to that, I'd up protein intake to >200g daily and lower calories.



Disclaimer: I'm not a nutritionalist or trainer, just speaking from personal experience of my body recomp from 260 - 215lbs over past 6 months.

I know changes are happening because of the clothes, compliments from people I haven't seen in a while and just feeling great. Hunger has been on the rise with all the added activity so I try to keep fueled with mostly protein.

Calories have been around 2400, some days 2000, some days 2800, protein around 150g.
