Losing fat but staying the same weight

Yes, this is very possible. I've been at the same weight for about half a year now, but I can see clear changes in my body. I hardly have any fat left to grab except in the typical problem areas: lower abs, upper thighs and the back of my arms, but even there it's not much and it's clear that I've lost a lot of fat.  I'm actually in the upper range of a healthy weight. I assume that it's muscle that makes me maintain my weight, because I'm significantly more muscular now that I was a year ago, when I weighed about 3 kg more than now.
My point is that you shouldn't get too hooked on a number. If you have to be xx kg by a certain date, and you're not, its really demotivating. I recommend that you set goals in terms of effort, and don't set a specific deadline. For example: I want to be able to run 10km, I want to be able to do pushups on my feet, etc. Some people aren't motivated if they don't have a deadline, but to me, it just makes me panic a little and obsess over making it on time, which isn't the point.
