I'm not the poster but I believe her recommendation has to do with yoga and pilates lengthening your muscle. Perhaps, if you don't increase your weights, it would give you at least the consistency. Is there a gym nutrition specialist that will help you?

I’d replace one of the weight lifting days with yoga, Pilates, or any bodyweight strength workout that also includes stretching.

I’m a formerly skinny fat amateur strength trainer. I lift 3x and walk maybe 2x a week. My PT recommended weight lifting in lieu of cardio and in the past year I’ve had good results going from 26% to 20% body fat. I don’t want to get any bigger - I’ve already outgrown my clothes. I’d like to shift to maintaining my current composition but I don’t really know how to do that. Keep weights constant instead of progressively increasing? Lighter weights with more reps? Add cardio and keep weights constant? My goal at this point is definition and consistency. I don’t need to lose weight.
