I would definitely up the calories a bit but i wanna note that carbs are important for muscle growth and maintenance so im thinking you might not be getting enough of carbs and/or the right types if you’re hitting your protein. and congrats on your weight loss!!!

For reference, was heavy, lost 30lbs. Still got belly flab but I can see my rib indents (lightly) below my clavicle
