For those of you lifting weights while losing weight, when did your strength stall? (Also a couple minor goals reached I wanted to share)

For this if you lifting weights while losing weight, when did your strength stall? (Also nsv and sv post!)

Today I jumped on the scale to see I’ve lost the first 10 lbs since I started tracking. It’s been 6 weeks and I feel great.

Stats:

Male

6’

SW 244 lbs (didn’t weigh myself till a few weeks after I started tracking

CW 234 lbs

GW 185 lbs

Caloric goal: 1700 a day Protein goal: 160-200g a day Everything else: IIFYM

I also deadlifted more than my starting weight (SW 244lbs, DL 3X5 250lbs) which also felt amazing considering I’ve only been working out for 8 weeks.

On to my question though, I understand that my lifts can keep progressing while on a deficit due to noob gains, but at what point in your experience did the noob gains stop allowing you to progress while losing weight? I know body recomp is a possibility, but I’m focused on weight loss first with the retention of as much muscle as possible.

Thanks for reading!
