It's been two weeks since I started my diet, but I'm not losing weight. Should I continue?

Hello. It has been about two weeks since I started controlling my diet and doing light exercise to try a healthy weight loss. I have reduced my food intake compared to usual, rarely snack, and have been consistently walking for about 30 minutes a day. However, contrary to my expectations, the number on the scale has barely changed, so I am a little upset and my motivation seems to be dropping.

People around me say that weight loss is usually easy in the beginning, so I'm wondering why I'm not seeing any change. Could it be that my body fat is decreasing even though my weight remains the same? Or is there a problem with my current diet or exercise routine?

For those of you with dieting experience, I am curious to know how long it usually takes to see noticeable changes. I would appreciate your advice on how you overcame periods when weight wasn't dropping and whether it would be best to continue maintaining my current weight. Thank you! 😊
