Losing My Arms Muscle
I am 22 year old male and i am software developer.I am doing gym for months but i got little fat in my belly.So to burn that i started doing cardio in morning and gym in evening.
My schedule is like this:
7:00 - 7:45 am cardio
9:30 am - 8:30 pm Work(Including One hour of travelling)
9:00 pm -10:30 pm Gym
12:00 pm Sleep
6:30 am Wake up
After doing this for weeks i started losing my arms muscle not my belly fat.
I dont want to lose my arm muscle because its already too weak..
Here What i eat Five Times a week(Excluding Saturday and Sunday):
2 banana after Cardio and 1 cup of Oats with milk (Honey for sweetener)
At 12:00 Am i eat Omelet(2 Eggs)
At Lunch 1 cup of Rice and Dal
Before Workout I eat 2 banana and 1 glass of pomegranate juice
After Workout I eat 4 Eggs and 1 glass of Home-made Protein Shake
I had 12 inch arms which reduce to 11.5 inch now and my belly is same. I dont feel any weakness in my arms. All i feel is small biceps.
Thanks in Advance

If you are not weaker:
I dont feel any weakness in my arms
Then it is extremely unlikely you lost muscle. You probably either:
Lost fat from that area.
Are dehydrated.
If you're experiencing a decrease in strength when you're doing arm exercises, then the decrease in size can be due to the loss of muscle. You would need to take a note of how much protein you're consuming, a lack of which could result in the muscle not being able to recover completely before the next workout. This here recommends 1.2-2g protein per kg of weight for building muscle.
Note: If you want to up the protein intake then do so gradually.
On the other hand, If you're strength levels are not declining, then the loss of excess fat from arms could be a plausible cause of the reduction in size.
In regards to your goal, there is no spot reduction, fat gets reduced all over the body contingent of course on your calories intake.spot-reduction-myth
Hope this helps.
The body does not want muscle, but fat. Muscle uses much more energy than fat. I suppose your problem is in the food. Can you show us your typical day of eating ? Maybe if you do not eat enough, your body has gone in "starvation mode"
