Why am I not losing weight?

Laura Mendoza said:I’m honestly not quite sure (though I don't fully grasp the 😕 ) why your weight isn't dropping, but if you're cycling a lot and the scale isn't budging, isn't it possible that your muscles are simply heavier than fat? It seems to me that you've strengthened them through all that riding, so they've grown and added mass, which explains why your total weight remains steady.
Actually, that's not quite right...
Muscle is actually denser than fat because it holds less water and takes up less space...
While it's true he might have gained a tiny bit of muscle mass, hasn't it just been that the fat loss hasn't been significant enough yet to show up on the scale?
