Answers:

The answers is simple. You aren't losing any weight because you are gaining muscle. When you exercise you burn all your excess fat very quickly but then slowly gain muscle. Muscle is more condensed so 10 pounds of muscle takes up less space then 10 pounds of fat. This "new" weight that you have however, is actually healthier. It is much better to weigh 150 pounds and be curvy than be 150 pounds and chunky.
Keep up the good work!
