Fat-loss plateau, need your advice
Hi,
I’m 5'3" and 123 lbs, with 25.3% body fat based on my latest body composition scan. My goal is to reduce body fat by about 2–3% and reach around 116 lbs, but I’ve been struggling to make progress over the past six weeks. My weight has remained unchanged, which has been increasingly frustrating.
I currently strength train three times per week and add a 15-minute incline treadmill walk twice weekly after training. My calorie intake is about 1,750 kcal on training days and 1,600–1,650 kcal on rest days. Even at this intake, adherence can be challenging, and reducing calories further feels unsustainable due to a higher risk of binge eating.
I’d appreciate any recommendations on how I could better optimize my training, nutrition, or overall approach to support fat loss while maintaining consistency.
