I have been on a cut and no weight loss has happened

I have gradually increased cardio and decreased food.

Weight training has been good with personal bests in the gym.

No weight loss which is frustrating.

I have lost inches.

    It sounds like you have found your maintenance calorie range, and you are more or less in recomp mode vs a cut. This isn't a bad thing if you are happy with the progress in size changes, but if you want to drop weight more than likely you will need to cut calories more. Usually a couple of months data is enough to show up any temporary stalls.

    Reasons? Somewhere logging is off, either on the intake or calorie burn side. Sometimes the exercise estimates are tricky, but if you keep using the data you accumulate you can often adjust and figure out where the logging errors are.

    I am thinking of changing my cardio equipment from treadmill to cross trainer and stepper.

    I find the treadmill I am holding on to the machine maybe that is causing my weight to not lose

    The types of machines shouldn't matter much, unless you are using the calorie burn estimates and they are inflated. This varies a lot with different machine types, if you can program your weight, and other such variables.

    Based on your measurements, you are losing fat and gaining muscle. I would count that as a huge win! You are moving closer to your goal.
