    You can lose fat and gain muscle. I have had that happen before, that's why I have a scale that measures body fat percentage! Something to think about.

    scales that measure body fat are not 100% accurate.they dont take into consideration for lean muscle,water retention,waste,etc. the only way to measure body fat that is more accurate is hydrostatic weighing,a bod pod,or even a dexa scan. they will still be off slightly but are more accurate than a scale. to gain muscle to where it shows a difference on a scale,takes a caloric surplus and you will gain fat as well when gaining muscle. same way with losing weight you can lose muscle,which is why people suggest weight training and getting adequate protein.

    Too much cardio will not cause you to stop losing weight. Too many calories, regardless of what kind of foods they come from, will cause you not to lose weight.
    Your diary isn't opened, but as asked above, how many calories are you consuming? Are you measuring/weighing/guesstimating your foods?
