What sort of cardio are you doing? If your body is in a caloric deficit, there is no way you shouldn't be losing weight. It's a fine line between losing weight and gaining muscle at the same time so you need to do the cardio (fasted preferrably), eat right and lift heavy.
My cardio is either basketball or on the elliptical machine. when on the elliptical, I do a five minute warmup and a twenty minute post-workout run, at about 150bpm heart rate.

I lift on the medium-heavy side, usually doing three sets of 12 on a weight that has me floundering at the end of my last set.

I have a bears appetite though, and I eat lots of lean protein on the days I work out.

Where can one get that measurement taken?
