    I found putting off breakfast until I actually got hungry helped. I don't eat breakfast until about 9:30 now. When I would eat breakfast when I got up (5:00) I would actually get hungry again earlier and eat more calories throughout of the day.

    Also, I go to bed earlier so I can't eat.

    You are not losing weight because you are not in a calorie deficit. Its as simple as that. CICO.

    I think you know why. You're eating too much at night and throwing yourself out of a calorie deficit. What remains is to change the behavior.

    How many calories are you eating in a day? If you're gaining weight over time, then the answer is in that question.

    The body follows the laws of physics and this is simple - energy cannot be created, only transferred.

    You are transferring energy into you, which is stored as fat as you are eating in excess.

    Only explanation outside this would be if you've started birth control or that you are on meds with oedema as a side effect such as anti depressants.

    Thats the only way it happens.
