    I end up fighting with my family about it. They didn't see me like that yet. Only on pictures, cuz I live abroad. But every chance they get, they complain that I m too skinny. Even though I m not.

    Perhaps you need to reconsider your goal - it looks like you weight train (by your profile pic), and body weight is pretty irrelevant when you start to get leaner and more muscular.

    Perhaps consider recomp, rather than losing more weight. I have personally been affected by body image issues/perceptions of myself when lean - it took a couple of years to see that I was actually really unhealthy and too thin. At the time I thought I looked amazing. I just wanted to get leaner and "better".

    "shredding" is losing fat. Which you have been doing... I'm not sure how you "try" that, when it just requires you to keep being consistent with your deficit. Doing abs may make your ab muscles grow and become stronger but if you have fat over the top it'll cover them.

    Do you know your bf%? What type of look are you aiming for? I don't know if you are, but aiming for a magazine fitness model look isn't realistic as a long term maintenance goal imo, it's very restrictive and pretty unhealthy for most women to sustain that look.

    My PBF is 22%, body fat mass is 13.8% SMM is 26.9. I have been eating clean and was playing with carbs intake. (High and low carbs day, reducing carbs, etc).
