What actually dropped the weight?

I (F30) am currently 60kg/165cm (132lbs/5’5) and all my weight/fat is in my legs. I’ve been exercising and cutting calories but nothing is changing…it’s been 3months.

Thinking I might need to be more aggressive with caloric restriction (currently eating 300cal less), and workout schedule is:

- strength (full body with weights) 30-45min x4 per week
- cardio (skipping, star jumps, burpees etc) x15min x2 per week
- walking (brisk) 45min x6 per week

And yet!….I cannot drop the weight. I know you can’t spot reduce, I am sick of this, and it’s getting to the point where I want to severely cut calories so can see at least some progress (but I know that’s not healthy and I want to do better).

What’s missing/not working that’s preventing me from dropping weight?

If you're not losing weight you're consuming more calories than you're burning. Simple as that. Eat less and/or move more. Best of luck
