So, I lost a lot of weight recently through eating less and exercising more. I weighed 82 kgs (180 lbs) in July when I started losing weight and went down to 59 kgs (130 lbs) in January, which was my ultimate goal weight (my height is 170 cm/5'7 and I am a 18 years old male). I wasn't really tracking the calories I consumed every day but I estimate it was between 1200 and 1500 and occasionally I would enjoy big holiday meals like on New Year and Christmas. After I reached my goal weight, I started eating more and normally to maintain the weight (not overeating like I used to do in the past though. For example, yesterday I calculated the number of calories I consumed and it was like 1900-2100 and usually I eat that much every day). Based on the information I have, 2000 calories with light-moderate exercise twice/three times a week would result in me maintaining my weight or losing extremely slowly in the worst case scenario. However, today I weighed myself and I am actually 56-57 kgs (125 lbs) which indicates that I am basically underweight and losing weight quite fast. I don't look malnourished and I have well defined, nice muscles with decent amount of fat (it's mostly fat that I lost), but if it continues this way I might become a skeleton and I certainly don't want that. My question is what should I do to not lose any more weight? (I don't want to bulk up or anything like that, I just want to maintain or gain 1/2 kgs). Should I just start eating more, exercising more, do I need to eat specific types of food, should I just do nothing and let the metabolism adjust, if that's even a thing?? BTW this subreddit has motivated and helped me on my weight loss journey and I am really thankful 😁😁
