Answer

The only thing that i can think of there is that, even though you are gaining muscle you may not be loosing some fat! the body is a machine and it doesn't know that you have a job and a way to get it food so if you go thru a lifestyle change and start gaining muscle from working out, your body might also hord some fat and store it to work off of later on. It likes to be safe.
