that's not a plateau, weight loss just isn't linear. keep eating in a deficit and you'll lose weight.

Now I have central obesity with the thinnest body
This situation continued for a month

can u tell me what's the wrong please?

When I came back on here, got actively into my exercise routine it took a few weeks for the scale to begin dropping.

When I came back, I had actually started 10lbs heavier. I’ve been active for 81 days and lost 20lbs.

I’m not sure your workout plan. For myself, I’ve been doing solely the elliptical. I started off doing 30min and then going a full hour plus, over time. When I find my body getting comfortable and almost easy, I up the resistance and or add time, or both.

As long as you stick to your calorie count and exercise accurately, you should watch the scale move again.

I do Power-lifting 3 times a week as well as aerobic exercises
The calories I eat are much less than my need and the whole food is healthy

I lost more weight riding a bicycle and using my husbands home gym. Ive read that lifting weights is beneficial to weight loss. U will burn cals for a period of time after u finish lifting weights than with cardio. When u r done with cardio so is calorie burn. If u r worried bout bulking up dont b. It takes sm serious lifting and a very strict diet to look like a body builder.

Yes I agree with you but this situation continues for a very long time
I'm stuck in this weight

It is perfectly normal to go a couple of weeks without losing weight on the scale. A plateau/stall would be more like for 6-8 weeks. If your main concern is your mid-section, this thread might help:

I sympathise with the OP! Being "skinny fat" and trying to lose that belly is really hard and it seems you can be in calorie deficit all week then one bad day over the weekend and it all goes back on!

Yes it is a discouraged
I can not lose this belly even though I work hard
Thank you

Did you try intervals training? If not, you should. Are you training in a Gym? If yes, ask the instructions about it.

I'm training at 2pm in the gym three times a week

How are you sure about the calories you need vs the calories you're burning vs the calories you're consuming?

Are you using a food scale and weighing your food? How are you tracking calories burned?

yup, i use food scale and add all meals in myfitnesspal app

I took a really quick look at your diary and I think you need to tighten up your logging. You have what appears to be partially logged days, peanuts weighed as fluid ounces, 1/2 apples, etc. Don't use homemade recipes from the database unless you input it yourself - you have no idea how someone else made their recipe.

This thread gives some good information on how to log:

Yes the last 3 days may be bad because I feel a little frustrated
I'm using the homemade recipes if close and some recipes I do it myself
When I can't find a recipe on the application I choose higher or larger calories than I actually ate
When I can find the grammeter I convert it
You can look at this day because

Are you sure you need weight loss rather than fitness? I think you say later that you eat at a calorie deficit. You won’t build muscle in a deficit.

I didn’t see where you say how much you weigh or how tall you are. If you are at or near a healthy BMI, you might want an entire new strategy. But it takes much longer than 2 weeks to build much muscle.

I could tell you the story of the mess I made for myself focusing on the number on the scale, when I should have pursued fitness, but it’s too depressing.

Thank you for your reply.
I feel like you understand my problem

I want to add something 5 days ago I went to the gym
Then I ate enough protein and then after 5 hours i went to practice football for an hour and a half
Although I felt fatigue, but when I returned home I found that I lost almost half a kilo and when I woke up the next day I found that I lost a kilogram and a quarter
Then in two days I gained this weight again despite I kept my calories in goal
