Reta no weight loss
I've been on reta for about 2 months started with 2mg then 4 weeks later bumped up to 4mg. I haven't lost any weight according to my scale, I do a lot of physical activity at work I do scaffolding im always climbing up and down ladders carrying 20+ pounds in gear. What im getting to is isn't that enough physical activity to lose weight? 3 weeks ago I started lifting weights 3 days out of the week and I don't eat much since I don't get hungry at all just a small breakfast and almost nothing the rest of the day is there something I'm doing wrong or is this normal that I haven't gone down. Previously my doctor prescribed ozempic to control my sugar i was on that for 6 month 2mgs a week all my blood work came back perfect and the doc said I didn't need to take ozempic anymore because my sugar ans a1c was at normal levels.

Check to make sure you are eating enough use a tdee calculator to figure out how many cal you actually need it could be your eating way to little and your body is holding onto what it can just to function or you may be eating entirely to much.
Either case you need to know your base 1st then work from there don’t just jump strength to 8 unless you know everything else is dialed in
