My son is 9 months old. I am still nursing but am trying to lose weight. I have not been successful at it. I am gluten free and eat healthy. I do not over eat. HELP!

I have had three kids, and I can never get the scale to budge while I am nursing. Once I wean I am able to drop weight very quickly. My theory is that my body stores fat to make extra nutritious milk for my babies and/ or that since I don't get my period back until I wean, my body thinks I'm in menopause.1
