Yeah, my weight is uncannily stable as well. I don’t think I’ve been more than 400g away from 60.0kg in the past like 8 years, during which time I have made no effort to regulate my diet or exercise whatsoever. I’ve been a PhD student cooking for myself extremely poorly and also a tech employee getting unlimited free nutella crumpets at work. I’ve been a person who never exercises, to running twice a week, to a pandemic shut-in, to experimenting with strength training. I went vegan during that time. Nothing has moved my weight more than half a kilo, and not in a predictable direction. If my body decided, by whatever mechanism this is, that it was going to weigh 120kg, I doubt there’s anything I could practically do about it.
Edit to update: I recently started taking some ADHD medication and, due to noticeably reduced appetite, lost like a kilo over a month and a half. So I guess that this medication acts directly on the mechanism that keeps my weight stable. I’m now making a little effort to get extra calories when I don’t feel like eating, which I expect to put me back at 60. But, n=1, if your weight is extremely stable, amphetamines may be able to reduce it.
