Losing weight but not inches?

Ive been on my fitness pal for a few months now and have lost 11 pounds but only about 2 1/2 inches from my stomach and hips. I think that my stomach is getting thinner but the measuring tape says otherwise.. is my mind playing tricks on me!?
I only have about 10-15 pounds to go so this could be why as I dont have that many inches to lose.

I would think that you're losing fat elsewhere on your body. Be patient, that fat will leave your waist when your body/genetics decides the time is right.0

Losing inches somewhere else?
The last 10 lbs I haven't lost any off my waist/hips but I can see that I lost a bunch from my underbust and ribcage area.0
