Lost weight but don't notice any change in my physical appearance :/

I went from 257 at my heaviest down to 213 as of today. I'm a 6ft tall 20 year old male and have been putting in long hours at the gym since around November accompanied by eating much healthier. No sugar minimal carbs lots of protein, fruits, and vegetables. I do binge drink on the weekends (I go to a party school in California), but only light beer and jack and diet cokes.Just frustrating that I haven't noticed any results other than on the scale. Can someone reassure me it's just apart of the process?
