Probably not if you're only doing it twice a week. Did you take your photos at the start so you can track your progress? It didn't take 5 weeks to get to the point you're at and it takes a while to build muscle and burn fat and your diet has to be on point. Give it 6 months and compare photos.

Are you taking photos or just looking at yourself in the mirror? I think it's really hard to see change unless you have something to compare to, like an older photo.

I started similar about 2 years ago. Took about 12 weeks to really notice a difference in tone visually and it was mainly the weight training that did it. I felt better more quickly than that though. 6 months in I was so much stronger and fitter. Haven’t lost any weight as all the exercise makes me hungry 😆 but am happy with the changes. Keep going!
