Hi

I've been going to the gym since Oct, doing weights, mainly to lose weight.

Until end Jan/start of Feb it was dropping off fast, but now it is has plateaued and I am stuck around the same weight for over 2 months.

I went from 19 stone down to 16stone 2lb in the first 4 months.

My regime was cutting out carbs. Even going as far as avoiding veg with high carbs content; sticking to only low carb veg.
Eating maybe 1800 cals a day, but with plenty of protein.
Weight training 5 days a week for 60-90 mins per day.
My strength has improved a lot, my weight has dropped off from most parts of my body, neck, arms, legs etc.

The main problem I have is that I have a 40s beer belly, still around 40" waist and I'm finding it very hard to shift that. I think that I'm slowly still losing weight, but some level of muscle gains is resulting in the plateaued weight which is fine, but I want to shift my beer gut.

Any tips?

Measure your arms and legs as you go along, or take weekly photos under the same light at the same time.

Gotta remember that muscle is heavier than fat so if you're putting on muscle you'll hit a point where it seems like nothing is happening, but it is.

Measure your progress in things that are not the scale and your mental health will thank you :)

Yeah my main goal is waist measurement. Better than weight numbers. But that Dad belly is hard to shift for me.
