Most people are obsessed with their weight. When they are trying to lose weight they will often weigh themselves several times a week to measure their progress. Focus more on lowering your body fat percentage than your weight. The lower your body fat percentage is, the higher your muscle mass. Why should you care about your muscle mass? The more muscular you are, the more fat you will burn. Fat is the primary fuel source of muscle. So don't obsess over your weight. Building muscle mass is a better way to lose fat and maintain that loss long-term.
Adding resistance training to your exercise routine will build more muscle. Other benefits of weight training include osteoporosis prevention, reduce your risk for muscular injuries, you will look and feel better too.
If you are a beginner start out slow and add exercises as you feel comfortable. Proper form is important so you do not hurt yourself. It is a great idea to find a personal trainer to get you started the right way. You will be glad you did.
