Kind of lost/ not losing weight anymore.

F(21) H: 5’4” Current weight: 158 Goal weight 135

My weight loss journey has certainly been one for the books. Almost 2 years ago, I started with a weight of 168 pounds. I joined a martial arts club, working out 2 hours a week while also doing the keto diet. In 6 months, I brought my weight down to 145 pounds. I decided at that point to stop Keto, because I was starting to have adrenaline problems because of constant ketosis. By the end of that year (2019) I was at 148 pounds, and still working out 2-3 hours a week at the martial arts club.

In 2020, the club closed for 3 month due to covid, and we had to do our classes at home over zoom. It wasn’t as fulfilling of a workout since nobody has the space, and there was a lack of cardio. We eventually came back to it that summer, but I had traded some muscle for a little bit of weight gain. I also started college that fall, and spent most of my days sitting in a chair doing school. By the end of 2020, I was weighing in at 152 pounds.

Now in present day, I currently weigh in at 158 pounds. I am still in college, so I definitely sit down for long periods of time. My workout routine is solely my martial arts club. Since joining a sparring team in June, I now workout 5-6 hours a week. Broken down, my workout routine looks like this- 2.5 hours of HIT (sparring, running, etc) 2 hour of strength 2 hours are spent doing forms, and weapons training.

(On top of this, I work as a laborer in a warehouse 24 hours a week, doing a lot of hard work.)

My eating habits have been better. I am never home these days, so I resort to eating whatever is close by, or easily attainable, but while also trying my healthiest option. (Low calorie fast food, lettuce wrapped burgers, etc) I also probably don’t eat as much as I should, or enough of what is recommended for somebody my age. I consume a lot of mea and dairy, and don’t usually go for veggies unless it is lettuce. The only fruit I really like is apples, grapes, and berries, but this is a rarity since I never crave fruits.

My weight jumps between 155-160 give or take, and my muscle definition is slowly disappearing. I gain weight In my midsection and stomach, but also have a lot of fast on my thighs. Is there something I am missing? What can I do to get back on track towards my goal weight? I am at my whits end, and I just want to lean out and have some definition. Any advice would be appreciated! Thank you :)
