One thing I learned early on (when I started back in March 2018) was IF (intermittent fasting), which I immediately incorporated with DANDR (Dr. Atkins induction), and eventually TRE (time-restricted eating) - learning it's not only what you eat, but also importantly when you eat.

Also know that even with maintaining weight, the benefits you're achieving may not show on the scale or tape ( elimination of fatty liver, reduction in visceral fat around your mid section / organs, reduction of insulin resistance, to name a few).
