Fat vs muscle

Since I've started working out I'm thrilled that I'm starting to see results, however don't seem to be loosing weight, could it be that I'm building muscle instead?

Ticker says you've lost 7 pounds.

Your diary is closed so no one can actually say anything useful to you. If you're not losing weight, you're probably eating too much.

If you just started here in March, given that's your join date, no. You won't see any significant muscle increase for a while. And you probably won't, provided you are eating at a Caloric deficit. You are likely simply retaining water from your workouts. A few more weeks, and your body will probably start flushing out the excess water and you'll lose.

No. Adding muscle mass requires eating at a calorie surplus and lifting HEAVY weights on a regular basis. It's especially difficult for women to add muscle mass. Assuming all of your settings are correct, if you're not losing weight it's either:

You're underestimating how much you eat. Buy a digital food scale and weigh everything (in grams) that goes into your mouth. Best <$20 investment you can make. Log everything including all beverages, things used to cook with like butter, oil, etc.

You're overestimating the amount of calories you burn from exercise.
