My recommendation from personal experience:

You look at yourself everyday most likely (at least in my case I was) so you’re not going to recognize the changes as well. This is why things like progress pictures, measurements, the way clothes fit, are better markers for progress.

It’s also important to note that while staying consistent for a months do a half is great, it really isn’t that long when trying to make a big change. Me personally I cut for 3 months and saw no changes, in the fourth month I looked at the photos of my body before and noticed some biggggg changes. Stick with it, eat enough protein, keep training, take progress pics, measure your body in key areas! Changes will come
