Usually I will cycle everywhere, go to the gym 4 times a week (I've recently started powerlifting and I love it! Added 100lbs to my squat since I started) and semi-regularly track calories (I used to do this meticulously due to past ed, stopped in the last 6 months to try and improve relationship with food).
I came back to my old town to be with my partner during the lockdown, weighed myself for the first time since September, found out I'd gone from 121lbs to 139lbs. I knew I had gained a little weight, but no idea it was so much.
I've lost 7lbs since we started lockdown (3ish weeks ago). I've been doing some HIIT exercises at home, and I've taken up running to get my cardio up and get out of the house once a day. I've started tracking my calories again and I'm eating around 1500 a day with at least 90g protein.
My issue is I don't feel like I see much of a difference. I started my weight loss journey 5 years ago, where I went from 150lbs to 115lbs from doing a lot of cardio and eating less (ended up being very skinny with no muscle).
I have drifted between 115lbs and 123lbs in the past few years, averaging around 120lbs. Seeing 139lbs on the scale really scared me. Really want to try and use the lockdown to combat some of this skinny fat and get back to what i feel comfortable in.
My question is then: am I doing the right thing? I've never really felt like I've effectively got rid of my belly fat, even when i was 10lbs lighter. Now that I've lost the gym temporarily, I'm very worried that I'm going to stagnate.
