I usually check myself on the scale once per week or so just to see if I am gaining or losing weight. I lift 3x per week and although the weights I lift are low, I focus on picking a weight that I can only do 5 to 8 reps and I do full body (45 minutes or so).
Looking at myself in the mirror, I see some development all around my body (chest, delts, biceps, etc etc), which is a good thing.
However, it also looks like my stomach is bulging a bit more than before. On the scale though, it looks like the number hasn't changed much. It always hovers around 129 to 132, before, and now.
So Is it possible to gain fat, even though my weight stays roughly the same range? I know that Diet might be a possibility, but even if Diet is causing a belly, shouldn't it be because of a calorie surplus, which would equate to a weight gain? Or is it because I'm still not lifting enough and what could be turned to muscle, is instead turning to fat?
