Could it be

MarieAnneN

In the last 3 months, I have lost only 2 to 3 pounds. The scale never goes down.
I started to go to the gym, 3 to 4 per weeks for 9 weeks now. Part cardio (30 to 40 of cardio in each training) and strenght to tone up.
I am not the best at following MFP but I am not the worst. I may cheat 1 day or 2 per week at the most.

What's weird...
Hips => 2 inches lost
Waist => 3 inches lost
Neck => 1.5 inches lost...

How to improve weight on scale? I am farely muscular, so heavy. 173 lbs for 5p9.

Are you eating enough? Are you eating your exersise calories?

Go to the tools section and figure out your BMI:

Generally someone with a BMI over 32 can do a 1000 calorie a day (2 lbs a week) deficit
With a BMI of 30 to 32 a deficit of 750 calories is generally correct (about 1.5 lbs a week)
With a BMI of 28 to 30 a deficit of 500 calories is about right (about 1 lb a week)
With a BMI of 26 to 28 a deficit of about 300 calories is perfect (about 1/2 lb a week)
and below 26... well this is where we get fuzzy. See now you're no longer talking about being overweight, so while it's still ok to have a small deficit, you really should shift your focus more towards muscle building, and reducing fat. This means it is EXTRA important to eat your exercise calories as your body needs to KNOW it's ok to burn fat stores, and the only way it will know is if you keep giving it the calories it needs to not enter the famine response (starvation mode).

This is just a part of it! please read the link above

If you could see what you're doing visually, you'll probably understand why your weight-loss has slowed. Since you're losing inches, I believe everything is okay.

what the scale is saying is unimportant if you are losing inches. i wouldn't worry about it if i were you

I am thinking I am gaining muscle and loosing fat, could this be? Normally you loose about 10 lbs of fat for 1 size of pants, so that could look like it.
Just weird.

If you are losing inches, that is a great indicator - watch how your clothes fit you....
Scale-wise, I wouldnt get too overly worried about it just yet...

I dont know what food-goals you are working with but, get a large variety in... eat as fresh as possible, avoid preprocessed foods as they contain tons of sodium, byproducts and chemicals that can really mess with your weight loss efforts... and always stay well hydrated...especially with workouts!
