Becoming lean

Yesterday I went on a hike with a new friend. She was telling me about her body fat percentage two years ago compared to now. She dropped nearly 14% body fat and her weight only changed a little.
I always have to keep this in mind: muscle is heavier than fat.
I saw this because my weight has not changed in over a year and yet I am getting thinner.
But, I still struggle because I don’t see a huge difference.
With so much cardio it’s very hard to make muscle gains. What I need is more muscle gain and after the half-marathon I can decrease cardio and increase weight lifting.
We will see how far that takes me!
