    While I normally roll my eyes at the low carb suggestions, this is one example of where I've heard it works especially well for men. Keep you calories the same and shift your macros. Try it for a month and if nothing happens, then no harm no foul. But if it works, then yay for you!

    Are you stillprogressively adding weight to your lifting program?

    Yes, I am! But I've noticed that my strength is not growing too much anymore. Who knows, maybe I hit my upper limits already.

    When you're lifting and in a caloric deficit, it's not at all uncommon that at some point the strength gains will slow/stop. You can only milk neuromuscular adaptation for so long.

    If you're close to your goal weight, close to your desired bodyfat percentage and want to maintain weight while losing fat, look into recomposition. Eat at/near maintenance, get adequate protein intake and continue lifting:
