[QUOTE="ivkonst2017, post: 202859, member: 42532"] On what calories have you been cutting weight? I'm about 25 percent body fat, currently 98kg, 1.85 and have muscle as well, working on a desk with relatively low level of activity. I have been lifting 3-4 times a week for the last 3 years. Im also on 2x500mg metformin for the last 2 years. I'm on TRT as well with no other apparent health issues. TSH is around 1, but FT3 is around 2.8-3ng/l from a scale from 2-4.4. Before I started cutting 4 months I was 103kg eating on average 3000-3500 calories. Initially I dropped 3kg the first month on 2500 kcal, but then weight loss stopped. I dropped down to 2300-2400kal and feeling hungry decent amount of the time, but weight loss is almost non existing. I train 4 times a week with weights for 1 hour intensively(doing compound as well as isolation movements) and some cardio occasionally when I have time. I do not go below 6000 steps per day. In 2019 when I was not yet on TRT I lost more easily around 8-9kg on 2200 kcal for maybe 6 months but I lost a lot of muscle as well(later when I started TRT my appetite exploded and I bulked up to 103kg for year and a bit quarantine times included without wanting it). Shouldn't weight loss on TRT be much easier? [/QUOTE]
