Postpartum weight gain!!

Hey moms!
I am 3 months postpartum, and I gained 50.7 pounds during pregnancy, lost only 19.8 pounds till now.
Despite how hard I workouts, carb-cutting, and intermittent fasting I keep gaining weight. I also was breastfeeding for 2 months.
Any moms faced a similar challenge?

I was 50kg before pregnancy, 70kg 9 months pregnant, and now 75kg 4.5 months post partum, and I've breastfed the whole time! The weight just is not shifting and somehow I'm gaining more!! I've been told it's normal though, your body is different now you're a mum and it's keeping the extra weight you need to help you and baby survive. I sometimes find it difficult to accept but life is different now with a baby and I try not to worry about my weight too much

You’ll feel like you hit a standstill for a little bit the weight will keep dropping especially if you’re breastfeeding the initial weight loss is all the extra fluids that you had don’t stress I know it’s hard🤍☺️

3 months is still very soon. Give yourself more time. I didn’t start losing the weight until 10 months pp.
