Ok, so I've been going to the gym since December because I was sick of looking like a stick. My main goal back then was to increase stamina and have more energy, whilst trying to do a bit of strength training as well. Whilst that's all well and good, I didn't actually notice any changes in my body, except increased energy. So starting March time, I started eating a lot more, starting going to a lot of HIIT classes and other strength classes whilst also working out on the machines too. I cut down on cardio to just a 5 minute run to warm up whenever I went too.
So it confuses me as to why I'm still gaining/losing weight and muscle mass so unpredictably. I went on the composition machine earlier today and in the space of 16 days, I've supposedly lost 3kg of muscle mass and put on almost 3kg of fat when I've made almost no changes to my routine at all. I've essentially lost all the muscle I put on since the end of February even though I've been lifting heavier and heavier weights with plenty of reps. And to top it all of, the worst part is that when I put on fat, it goes straight to my lower stomach/hips, so I end up looking well out of proportion with skinny arms lmao.
I've attached graphs of progress (displayed in %) - Any help would be greatly appreciated, I'm no expert.
Just turned 18
6'2
74.4kg
P.S - I'm definitely more hydrated than it says I am. I have to drink plenty because I have one kidney
