BuNz wrote A common misconception about weight lifting is "I weigh more! It's not working!" Then they give up.

Muscle mass weighs more than fatty tissue. If your stomach is getting noticeably smaller, but your weight isn't fluctuating, you're doing exactly what you're aiming to do.

Big thing that will help accelerate replacing fat tissue with muscle tissue is knowing what you put in your body. There are formulas and sites online that will help you determine how many calories you need to burn fat and gain muscle.

Grilled or baked fish, water, grilled chicken, spinach, and believe it or not, tortillas are fantastic foods to maintain your daily caloric intake. Just can't get discouraged when the scale doesn't move.

Like what BuNz said best thing to do is to not weigh your self, it doesn't matter what you weigh, it only matters what you look like in the mirror

I do weight training now but it doesn't really do much for my stomach tbh

Do more ab workouts.

I'll give it a go but I've done them consistently for months at a time and nothing so I just stopped them assuming it was a hoax lol

If you only do the same thing, nothing will happen. If you just do 100 crunches every other day, your body will get used to it and won't gain you any muscle. You need to work abs one day, then legs, then arms, then chest, etc.

Eat well and train hard, You will see a huge difference. Do plenty of chest&AB work outs and you'll be on your way

I was pretty chubby before starting work 2 years ago. I just ate junk food, drunk fizzy drinks, beer. After a month or so of starting work i'd lost around 2 stone. Then lost another 2 stone a couple months later. I wouldn't say im muscular but with hard work and dedication i've lost around 4-5 stone in 2 almost 3 years. Also change your diet. It helps.
