What is a good way to gain muscle for someone who doesn't go to a gym besides arm weights?

You can look up 'calisthenics' or 'bodyweight exercises' on youtube. Or you could start with 20 plus repetitions of pushups, squats, setups, and try to plank as long as you can for core muscles.

Ive been at this for over four years and lost about 40 lbs. But at that point, I kept hitting a plateau.

After learning about metabolic adaptation, Ive decided to no longer do aggressive calorie deficits. Minor cuts for about 3 weeks on with a week maintenance Break in between will be my plan now. This is going to take awhile. But in the long run, I think I'll be glad I chose this slower path.
