Nutritionist Azra Khan answers this question on Instagram. In a video, she explains that if you lose weight, you lose fat, muscle weight, water weight, etc. “But if you are losing inches, you are losing pure fat,” she says.
According to her, losing fat is always more beneficial than losing weight. “So, focus on that,” she suggests.
