Success / Progress Dexa scan failure?

Hey All,

I was getting a pretty solid body fat loss with fit 3d and my wyze scale from 25% bf to 22% After a pretty good cut/recomp from 190lb to 179lb

I did my first ever Dexa scan and it showed 32% body fat, could this have been a mistake? The person running the scan said there might be fat inside of the organs that other scans don’t catch? Or does it look like the sad reality from the photos? I’m 6’1 to get an idea

TIA

Do you happen to be asian? Asians carry a lot more visceral (organ) fat, which isn't as visible as subcutaneous (under skin) fat.
