Body Fat % not changing with significant weight loss

[Penelope11]

Hi, 

I've lost just over 20kg (44lbs) in 6 months, now I weigh 76kg, female 165cm tall ... and the body fat content % isn't changing. I have the full version Versa. It's still saying I'm 47% body fat! Originally it said 53%, in January, then 47.9% in January, on January 31st it said, 47% and hasn't budged.  Since then dates I have also been issued with a replacement Versa due to heating issue and the new Versa which I've had for about 4 months now is still logging the same fat % of 47 regardless of significant weight loss.  I have a Samsung A5, the same phone since I  purchased the original device. 

Thanks for your reply in advance.

Hi, @Penelope11! I'm a little confused, do you have a Versa or an Aria? Aria is the scale, Versa is a wrist based step tracker.

I have the Versa watch.

When I log my weight onto the app, there is no change whilst in the beginning their was.

If you're entering your weight manually, the only way the body fat would change is if you change it. The only way it updates automatically is if you're using a scale that calculates your body fat for you.

That's confusing as it auto changed things in the beginning.  Is fitbit looking at firmware update to calculate body fat when weight is entered manually?

 No a good feature if you must use a digital scale for body fat to read..

Auto Bmi. Would seem better to me. My Samsung health does bmi. automatically with manual entry.
