Weight loss plateau

Hi everybody,

New here (old log in) so hi - again!

Bit of back ground, I have been dieting since early January. I started at 14st 6lbs, and estimated around 28% body fat

I set out to lose as much weight as possible over 12 - 16 weeks, lowering my body fat percentage to create a good platform before starting a clean bulk.

As of last Monday I was down to 13st 0lbs, great progress so far - though the weight loss had definitely slowed down, which I expected at some point.

That said, over the last week despite eating well and exercising 5 days a week (as I have done since starting) I have somehow gained 4lbs.

Could this be water retention? Slowed metabolism due to changed lifestyle? it's rather frustrating!

My most recent BMI check showed I had lost over 20lbs of fat and gained 7.5lbs of muscle, but that's over the whole period since starting, not just the last week obviously.

Any advice you can provide me is greatly appreciated.

If it helps at all i am 29, 1.8m tall.

Many thanks
