Insulin resistance? Maintaining? (Post MJ)

I lost a lot of weight on my own before I started mounjaro.
Then couldn't lose any more weight on my own.

I started at 30BMI and within five months I had got to 23BMI

I finished my pen and then spent the next 4 weeks calorie counting, I gained three pounds despite staying under my maintenance calories.

I had the bonus dose left in my pen. And I know you're not supposed to take it over thirty days but I did.

I didn't experience any suppression so I assumed it didn't work but at the end of the week I weighed in and I had lost lost 3.5lbs

I just don't know where this leaves me. I was eating under my maintenance calories and somehow still managed to gain. And as soon as I took MJ without any suppression, eating exactly the same as the previos month, I lost 3.5 pounds.

I don't want to take it for the rest of my life. I'm worried about a side effects.

Is my body doing something wrong? That makes me gain weight and MJ counteracts that?

Hi OP

this from the glucose goddess might be helpful, it explains how to make your body make its own GLP-1
