Not losing weight

e_spriya

Hello all,
So me female 28 5.3' 150 lbs mother of a 2 yr old. I have been trying to lose weight for some time without any success.
A little background about me. I have always weighed heavy than my peers. To be clear when I weighed 130, I looked 120. I am stronger, again compared to my friends and others my age where I could easily carry my 100 pound friends around with me at 125 #. I never did any weight lifting.
so after marriage I got up to 145 # and at my highest pregnant weight I was at 172 #. Lost 13# in a week postpartum and struggling to lose the rest for two and half years. Also I am big now. I guess I lost the muscles due to inactivity and gained fat.
I recently started working out with cardiovascular and strength training for the past four months and lost zero pounds. I used to eat 3 meals a day Lot of vegetables and some snacks before but I didn't gain weight I just maintained at 150. Now I have cut snacks much. weight didn't change. So I thought maybe I am still eating maintenance calories and for the past 20 days cut out lunch and instead of staple rice I started eating fruits and vegetables . I workout at gym five days a week with 3 days strength With heavy weightsand two day cardiovascular. Still haven't lost a single pound. I am just confused. Why am I not loosing any weight? Any help would be appreciated. I am not starving neither am I over eating. I have always eaten moderately and I don't drink alcohol. Honestly I don't know what I am doing wrong. I had a 36 27 36 figure and now I look like a barrel.

You say nothing about actually counting calories. Are you. Are you weighing all your solids and measuring liquids. if your not losing weight it just means your eating at maintenance. So you need to double check everything.

Some links that may help. Good luck

Count EVERY calorie. Vegetables and fruits can pile up PLENTY of calories.

Count everything you eat. Log it. If you have a calorie deficit, you will lose. it is possible you could have an undiagnosed medical condition (thyroid for example) but if you don't and you actually log everything and keep at a deficit, you should lose.
