    You are probably eating too much. Traditional Indian food is high in calories. And the Herbal Life shake isn't doing any favours either, just added calories. I suggest making your food and adding it in the recipe calculator to get a better idea of how much you're eating. One plate of traditional food could be as many as 2000 calories depending what's on it. I know the thing I order at a restaurant here is likely at least 1200 cals, and it's not even that big.

    By drinks do you mean alcoholic beverages? There can be A LOT of calories in those too. Make sure to log them.

    You need to track food diligently - weigh it, look up the calorie info... if you're guessing then ou can't really know how much you're eating.

    Keep lifting weights to make sure that once your fat comes off you still have your muscle underneath. Make sure the weights become progressively heavier.

    How long have you been working on it? If only a couple weeks it might be too early to tell.

    The scales wont reveal everything.. try to see if ur losing any inches.. sometimes u may not lose weight despite eating within your calorie budget but you might be losing inches.
