M45, 5’10” 234 lbs.

M45, 5’10” 234 lbs. Started going to the gym 1 year ago. Kept bouncing around 230-234. Had some injury setbacks. Decided to start Reta and Tesa June 27th. 2 months in and just started my 6mg week. Down to 218lbs in the first month, and have flattened out since. Hitting the gym 5 days a week, I know I’m gaining muscle but thought I would be down more weight by now. The elevated heart rate has been a real issue also. Should I cut out the Tesa, and try to get to 12 mg Reta. Most people I’m seeing don’t go beyond 6-8mg Reta.
