This may be due to a few reasons, good reasons of course :
1) You burn approx. 550 calories a day (depending on what exercises), you look different but you still weigh the same, because the much of the fat in your body has been converted into muscles (the same mass of muscle is only 1/3 to fat in terms of size).
2) Your daily calorie intake should be taken into account, if your intake of calorie is slightly more than what you burn daily, your weight will remain almost the same.

Somehow the bolded part of your statement is wrong. Fat ain't turning into muscles and vice versa. What happened is that the fat shredded off but in the same time, them muscles are growing. So, the weighing scales won't budge but if you take a better measurement, you can see that muscle mass percentage is up and body fat percentage is down.
