My body fat is dropping but Im not losing weight

I am 24 years old. I exercise 4 times a week, 2 cardio sessions and the other 2 times with a personal trainer.  I have done this for the last 3 months. My body fat % has dropped, and I have lost centimetres, but I don’t loose weight. Why is that? Now the other thing, I’m on the Depot provera* injection, and I just can’t loose weight. Is that perhaps the problem?
Thanks for a great magazine; it really inspires me to exercise.

Do I do heavy lifts or do I lift light?

Hi Nicole! Firstly, I think you are a great inspiration for so many women out there. As a goal, I have your magazine cut out against my wall at work right next to Ava Cowan. I am about to start my life-changing lifestyle. I eat 100% correctly, but it’s the training I’m not so sure of. I do one day cardio, the next day, weight training… now my question is: do I do heavy lifts or do I lift light? I’ve heard so many explanations in this regard.

Currently I’m 1.6m and weigh 95kg. Everyone tells me I must not do heavy weights at all, because I will bulk up too much and not lose weight. Please help.
