Yes lifting! And i got flat abs in 6 weeks (not 6 packs) and back muscles is real strong. Let me also add that my starting weight (before i started lifting) was 48 kg and now im a little over 49 kg and have lost 3 inches over all1 -
The water weight fluctuations you'll be going through due to changes in diet, exercise, and period cycle are greater than the amount you intend to lose. Sounds like you're seeing the progress that really matters so just keep doing what you're doing until you get back to looking the way you want to.1

When i say quick i mean over 2 months.
you don't pack on muscle mass in a month or two...muscle building is a loooong process (especially in women) measured in many months (more than 2) and years, not 8 weeks.0 -

You do understand that i have been in this weight loss field for 5 years now. I have been lifting for 2 months. And i beg to differ because my fiancé did get a visible 6 pack after 3 months of lifting. So talking from experience3 -

men can build muscle easier than women because they have the testosterone but it still takes a man awhile to build muscle and in a deficit its going to be even harder to build. to see muscle you have to lose fat covering it. so if someone is seeing more muscle while losing weight its because you are losing the fat covering it. when you build muscle you gain fat too unless doing a recomp and that can take more than 6 months to see results

His starting fat percentage was 30%
Mine was 28%
And 3 months later... his BF and weight are?
I'm assuming you had a hydro or dexa scan for those BF estimates.1 -
