From the other side of the consultation, briefly.
OMG yes. lean mass + resistance training is the combo. Can confirm.

Regarding lean mass: I accidentally injected my dose intramuscularly instead of subcutaneously last week (went in at wrong angle, too deep). Called my pharmacist — they said it's not dangerous but may absorb faster, potentially causing more GI effects.
Sure enough, had worse nausea that day. Lesson learned: pinch the skin properly and use the right needle length for your body composition.
One thing that is still open after BiostatsBrad’s answer:
How would you tell the difference between that and the alternative explanation?

My endo's protocol for lean mass plateau: if weight loss stalls for 6+ weeks at current dose, we go through this checklist before titrating up:
- Food diary review — is intake creeping up?
- Protein check — minimum 100g/day
- Activity audit — steps + resistance training
- Sleep quality — poor sleep kills GLP-1 efficacy
- Stress/cortisol management
Only after addressing all of these do we increase the dose. Often fixing one lifestyle factor restarts progress without needing more medication.
