Loads of weight change but no change in measurement

[Bjarnidk]

In my peak at 95kg, I was getting ready to cut. However, a shoulder injury stopped me dead in my tracks and I started swimming instead. I lost nearly 15kg but the fat around my stomach WAS EXACTLY THE SAME. I lost perhaps 1 cm and now I've gained 5kg again and nothing has changed.

I can lose or gain 10kg easily but nothing in my body will change what-so-ever except the muscles. In one week after I started lifting again, I gained 5kg but the measurements are the same.

My belly is way too fat and nothing seems to help it. I'll eat practically nothing for a month and nothing will change. It's as if my body refuses to change no matter what. I bet I could maintain a 6% body fat if I'd ever get there without a hassle!

Every month the measurements disappoint me...I have one devil and that's alcohol. I tend to drink once a week maybe 7-10 beers. I'm going to lose that after this weekend and see if anything changes in 2 months or so.

Anyone else has a story like mine? Any ideas?

Whats your diet like? Whats a typical day of food for you? You have your macros and calorie needs all worked out?

You cannot spot reduce aka you can't choose where you lose fat from first. The best we can do is be patient - the fat will come off your stomach eventually.

It honestly sounds like you aren't being consistent enough with what you're doing. Calculate your calorie/macro needs, stay in a reasonable deficit (10-20% off of maintenance calories) and stick with it.
