Welcome. Persistence is the key and remember that neither gains in muscle nor losses in fat are going to be linear.

hey buddy, it's kinda what I'm working with a lot.

u need to check in with:
Your diet- the calories u taking in and out.
Your physical activities(work,daily stuff u do,family etc.).
What's your stress levels daily.
Your sleep patterns.
Maybe u over/under training.
Daily macro and micronutrients.

and much more can play a massive role.

I've been trying a ton of different methods to get ripped and shredded which is my goal but nothing has really paid off really well. Hoping I can find some insight into what I've been doing wrong and what I can do to improve.

Not saying this is you, but I have neighbors who have tried a ton of different diets. In the beginning of the year it was atkins, a couple months laters they were vegans, now they've cut out glutten. They've tried different methods, but what they haven't practiced was patience. As you know, This sh(*t takes a long time and it's more about lifestyle than any particular method. Stay motivated. You're on the right path.

LOL....I have a couple that are good friends...they've done so many dumbass diets that are advertised on TV for years...they lose weight and then have no idea what to do after the weight loss...and go back to what they are used to and gain it all back!!

They see how I am and just won't listen so I gave up years ago trying to eduicate them....life's a bitch for some...bummer

I gave up years ago trying to educate them.

I've tried too. Unfortunately any real advice, such as "eat less," is no match for the marketing genius of Dr. Axe and those beautifully airbrushed celebrities in People magazine.

DK has something here. Patience man. You have done a great job so far. Rome wasn't built in a day. Don't get frustrated.
