Losing weight but not inches

Since starting to take getting healthy seriously at the start of the year, I've lost around 19 pounds but my waist measurement has barely moved since late January when I first measured it. If it has it's only by around half an inch at best.

Any idea why this might be? Am I burning muscle, or am I just burning fat in other places do you think?

Thanks.

    Any other measurements changing? Maybe your waist wasn't where you were storing fat.

    Neck has stayed the same too but I haven't been measuring anywhere else. I've got lots of fat stored around the middle!
