I stuck to plan for the most part yesterday. Tried for a low carb meal, but mil made a stir fry with noodles in it. I think my carbs were still under 50 for the day. An hour of cardio that felt too easy.
I have the hardest time building muscle, especially in my arms. They are looking floppy due to weight loss. Any suggestions? I have access to full gym equipment. I feel like I'm getting a good workout on my arms, but afterwards, I don't feel pain. so.... no gain? Suggestions appreciated please!

I’ve struggled with building muscle as well. When I had the most success, I was younger (boo) and I was lifting very heavy weights and eating more carbs.

INCREASE PROTEIN.
to assuage your fears, under 50 is still low carb! i am recovering from eating disorders because i spent 14 years battling eating low carb/keto/carnivore. Dont feel guilty about eating carbs, please!!
(check out my video about this in detail on YouTube- search for DAZEY)

everything in our body is protein(heart, lungs, skin, hair...etc),
Carbs are short term energy; theres a reason carbs are macros, not micro. Technically, our body does need them. Instead of eliminating them completely, use them to your benefit. This will take some experimenting. As an example, I eat carbs with lunch and dinner, and if I stop having weight loss down the road, I will adjust how I am eating carbs.
In regards to working out, I usually eat carbs after a workout(lunchtime). I stay between 60 to 110 g of carbs per day without struggle. That's a wide window, this is easier to manage than, say, only staying at 25 g per day, which is very restrictive, very hard to do... (and very discouraging if you dont make your goal...)
I hope my little tips help! make your diet work for you, not you working far your diet... diet to me is just way of eating/way of life, try not to put yourself into a lil box with no wiggle room!! we aint dead yet... 😂

Thanks for all suggestions. I'm working with some weights but rarely feel an after burn. I'll keep at it. Try raising reps instead of weight. Cause I can't handle higher weight!!
