Quit drinking a month ago after 7 years of heavy drinking and i keep hearing i look like i've lost weight but i havent. why is that?

Heavy Alcohol use: Heavy alcohol use can lead one to appear bloated. The face and skin are not healthy. When you quit drinking and give your liver a chance to recover you can look many years younger and have so much more energy. Congratulations to you for making this commitment to health.
