(25F) Large waist size constant, but lost 10+ pounds - Any idea why/how to fix?

Background: 25 Female, 5’3” (160.5 cm), one child. Dieting since mid Jan 2021, but very seriously only 1 month. Start: 156 lbs (70.7kg), size 10/12 US, waist 38” (96.5cm) Currently: 143 lbs (64.8kg), size 10 US, waist 37.5” (95.3cm) Goal: low 120’s (54.5 kg) or size 4 US, waist mid-high 20’s” (70cm) Diet plan: 90% food intake change (high protein, low carb, 1200-1400 calories a day), standing at desk, taking walks around the neighborhood/parks several times a week, no weight lifting, alcohol 1-2 per week max

I wanted to ask everyone’s input on how they noticed their weight loss in terms of waist circumference. I’ve always been an apple shape (almost all of my extra pounds have always gone to the upper body), but I expected after losing weight that I would see a larger difference in waist circumference. I’ve lost about 13 pounds, but it doesn’t seem like it changed my shape much at all there, and it’s hard to say if the small change I do see is due to simply eating cleaner (less bloating). I still haven’t really changed pant sizes, it’s just that the ones I wear fit a little better.

How has your weight loss journey affected your measurements? Is this something I can only achieve through doing more intense activity (such as weight lifting/HIIT)? Is it too soon to tell, or midsection weight isn’t quick to leave?

Thanks for the advice!
