Same pattern here, and in the same order. Nothing to add that would improve it.

My endo's protocol for lean mass plateau: if weight loss stalls for 6+ weeks at current dose, we go through this checklist before titrating up:
- Food diary review — is intake creeping up?
- Protein check — minimum 100g/day
- Activity audit — steps + resistance training
- Sleep quality — poor sleep kills GLP-1 efficacy
- Stress/cortisol management
Only after addressing all of these do we increase the dose. Often fixing one lifestyle factor restarts progress without needing more medication.
The figures, for anyone assembling their own picture. If you are going to change something, change one thing and give it long enough to express itself. Four weeks is the usual minimum for anything pharmacological on this board, and two weeks of data has told you almost nothing.

Closing the loop on my own question.
Update, and it is the boring outcome: nothing was wrong. The measurement I was reading had moved less than its own week-to-week variation, which somebody said upthread and I did not believe.
