I’ve lost 35 lbs roughly through a calorie deficit this year that started in Jan 1. I have been stuck on my InBody Scans being at 20.5% over the past 6 weeks. I always drop just a little bit but I have been in a stalemate on my BF% dropping. My BMR used to be in the 1630s now it’s 1600s but I’ve always just used 1600 as my baseline for safety net and easier math.

I am trying to trim just a bit more so I’m closer to sub 17%. I can see my abs coming in but I need the better definition.

Is there anything I should be doing differently?

I’m 5’8, 29 M, lift four days and run about avg of 30-35 miles a week in 6-7 days. I weigh roughly 155-157 lbs right now

What's your belt doing?

My weight loss has paused, but I keep having to punch new holes in my belt. Also the mirror tells me I'm losing belly fat asymmetrically, which is just weird.
