On tirz 7.5mg weekly, lost 8.2kg in first 12 weeks, then stalled for 3 weeks. What's the standard play — dose up, cycle off, recomp phase?

Standard play is up-titrate to 10mg and reassess at 4 weeks. Plateau at 7.5 after 12 weeks is common — the dose-response hasn't maxed.

Before dosing up — double-check your diet has adapted to lower body weight. A 3-week stall with no kcal adjustment is often the diet, not the drug.

Consider a 2-week diet break at maintenance (not surplus) before dosing up. Hormonal reset helps. Then resume deficit or dose up.

Clinically: reassess intake. If still tight, up-titrate. 10mg is where a lot of responders find their actual effective dose.
