How to know if I’m losing fat

Hey guys, first time posting here. Wish I could have found this community when I started my weight loss journey.

Anyways, I’m an Asian male 23yo 177cm (5ft 10in) weighing at 100kg (220lbs) and I actually started my weight loss journey two months back, I started at 106kg (233lbs) so I lost a total of 6kg (13lbs), not very fast but at the very least it’s doable.

For the first month, I was losing weight fairly quick and I hit a plateau on the third week. I continued to lose weight after week 5 and hit another plateau on week 6. During the course of 6 weeks, I have been hitting the gym regularly.

On week 7, I had a surgery and the doctor told me to not sweat at all, meaning I can’t exercise. At first, I was concerned about my weight loss progress as not being able to exercise for at least 2 week seems frightening. But surprisingly I continued to lose weight, at an even faster pace than before. At first, I was happy that I’m still losing weight. But then I realised that without exercising, the weight I’m losing might actually be my muscle instead of fat.

So, my question is, how do I know if my losing fat or muscle?
