is it normal to get reflux at week 68
Update, and the title has the headline: is it normal to get reflux at week 68.
Two scans on the same machine 24 months apart. Lean mass held better than I expected and the lifts told the same story for free.
Reduced appetite makes hitting a protein target a logistics problem rather than a motivation problem, which is why the practical advice here is about timing and food choice rather than willpower.

Some lean mass loss accompanies weight loss in any deficit. Resistance training and adequate protein intake are the two interventions with the best evidence for limiting the proportion.
Push back: strength dropping in a deficit is not the same as lean mass loss. Related, not identical.
Push back: strength dropping in a deficit is not the same as lean mass loss.
This is the whole intervention. Protein and resistance training.
nothing on this board is a training or nutrition prescription
DEXA has a meaningful coefficient of variation, and it differs between machines and protocols. Comparing scans from different clinics adds a systematic offset that is invisible on the report.
Correction: those scans are from different machines, and the difference you are describing is within the measurement error.
What was the rate of weight change over that window?

lina_bruun is right that protein becomes a logistics problem when appetite drops.
I would not change the programme on the strength of one scan. The measurement error is larger than the effect you are reacting to.
Resistance training, and at what frequency?
lean mass loss during weight loss is expected, the question is how much
Nothing here is a training or nutrition prescription. Targets and programmes are matters for somebody who knows your history and your training background.
FFMI is a ratio and it moves when either term moves
a single DEXA is a number, two is a comparison, three is a trend
DEXA has a real error margin and people quote it to one decimal
