It can feel frustrating when your efforts are not reflected on the scale. Eating less does not by itself establish why your weight is unchanged, and protein supplements alone do not guarantee weight loss. Before reducing food further, it is important to check whether weight loss is appropriate for your height and current weight.
Because you also describe a poor appetite, a clinician should review your weight trend, usual food and supplement intake, activity, sleep and medical history. This short description is not enough to diagnose a hormonal problem or recommend weight-loss treatment.
Next Steps
Arrange a review with a physician and a registered dietitian for an individual plan. Bring your height, current and previous weights, a short food diary and supplement details. Any tests should be selected after that assessment.
Health Tips
Avoid crash diets, skipping meals or adding weight-loss products. Aim for regular balanced meals and sustainable activity. Seek prompt medical care if you are unable to eat or drink adequately, feel faint, or develop marked weakness.

Hello, if you are eating very little, have no appetite and still can't reach your weight goal, it is worth finding the reason rather than pushing harder with exercise or supplements. Common causes include thyroid problems, low haemoglobin, vitamin B12 or D deficiency, PCOS, poor sleep and stress.
Next Steps
A basic examination and a few blood tests can usually sort this out. Please avoid cutting your food further or taking weight-loss products until that is done. I'd be glad to guide you on what to test and how to plan your diet and activity. You can book a teleconsultation with me on Practo. â Dr Amandeep Aggarwal, Family Physician, Sangrur

Because it's not about food or fat
It can be swelling present in your body also.
Body needs water, proper food, exercise.
Less food will not help in weight reduction although it can increase the weight.
You don't need heavy exercise, protein only diet,less food.
You have to first include Water,
Take food on time,
Take warm Turmeric water (if not allergic)
Do exercise as you are doing.

Not losing weight despite working out and eating protein usually has a few explanations. Eating too little while training hard can make your body hold on to weight instead of losing it. Building muscle can also add weight and hold water for some weeks before the scale moves. An underactive thyroid or ongoing stress are other common causes worth checking.
Next Steps
Try tracking your actual food intake for a week, since portion estimates are often off. A thyroid panel and basic blood work can rule out a medical cause.
Health Tips
Please see a general physician if this continues, so the right tests can guide you forward.
