chances it is not - as for males this is usually the first place you put it on.... maybe a little is but soulds like you made some good solid gains.

I'm in the process of some seroius bulking now - aiming for about 130kg but keeping the bodyfat in check - I feel gaining lean is the best way to go over the traditional "bulk up" where you pack on a ton of fat.... people forget the pros that do this use drugs and can gain a lot of weight very quickly and can cut the fat even quicker - if you are natural you can't get away with that.

not all fats go to the waistline only as i thought?

It could be muscle though, best is to go for those muscle/fat level tests and know..

read somewhere that changes in waistline is quite an accurate gauge of whether you have gained/lost fat.

muscles are heavier than fats.

Safe to say that it's a good basic guage.... more in not gain fat while gaining weight but more for males that females.

how often should waist measurments be taken to keep track of fat loss?

As often as once a week - same time and conditions. This would be a little different for a female.
