Thanks to the help of a personal trainer, in the last 3 months I've gone from 28% body fat at 175 pounds to 20% body fat at 195 pounds.
AKA lost 10 pounds of fat while gaining 30 pounds of muscle.

How do you feel keeping your body temperature, notice any difference?
Dang! Not bad at all. I began my kettlebell workouts about 14 months ago, dropped 30lbs and 8% body fat in 11 months. Now have dropped another 4% BF and added back 7lbs.
Nice!! ๐ช๐ผ

Wow, that is a lot of muscle in three months. I guess the hard part is finding the best trainer and avoiding the clowns.
Honestly sounds too good to be true, that's 1.67 pounds per week which suggests a nice surplus of calories. Meaning I'm almost 100% sure it wasn't 30 pounds of muscle
There is absolutely no possible way to put on 30 lbs of muscle in 3 months unless you started a massive load of test.
Barring the test scenario, you put on 5-10 lbs of actual muscle, and the rest via water weight in your muscles. Creatine further enhances water retention which I'm guessing you started up given that 30 lbs number.
I have stopped and started lifting many times in my life and I get this effect every time.
I'm not trying to call you a liar or anything, just helping with proper expectations for yourself and others.
It has taken me a year to go from 23% to 16%. 3 hours a week. Have put on 3kg of muscle
Huge gains! Congrats. Out of curiosity, have you trained before or are you a "newbie" lifter? Did you take any supplements (e.g. Creatine)?
I've been lifting a couple years but never had any instruction so I wasn't doing it well.
Been taking a ton of supplements and daily protein target of 200g.
Along with how many hours per week of exercise ?
Fantastic! What you eatin?
Nice work ๐ช
Nice gains. I imagine you must be feeling great too ๐ช๐ป
You can say you dropped 10lbs of fat based on those percentages (but depends on how accurate your measurement modality is). But you can't say it's 20lbs of (pure) muscle. Creatine would probably add about 10lbs of water weight in someone your size.
