Semaglutide plateau after 12 weeks, anyone else hit this wall?

I’m about 12 weeks into semaglutide and the first part was almost annoyingly easy, hunger dropped, weekend snacking got quiet, and the scales moved without me having to white-knuckle it like a lunatic. Then the last few weeks have looked flat, which is probably the bit where the body decides it would like a meeting about this whole arrangement.

I’m not chasing a magic fix, I’m just trying to work out if this is the normal “new normal” or if I should expect appetite to shift again after the next titration. My steps and protein are still decent, training is steady, sleep is okay, and my HRV has been a bit boring in the best way, so I’m not seeing an obvious lifestyle culprit.

For anyone else on semaglutide or tirzepatide, did your appetite suppression come and go with dose changes, or did you have to tighten calories a bit more once the easy phase ended? I’m curious whether the plateau is mostly scale noise, or if there’s a real ceiling where the hunger control just settles down and you have to do more boring work.
