Lost the weight, but life is the same (22M)

So I lost 23kgs, from 91 kgs to 68 kgs (in last 2 years) and I am 172cm. I always thought if I lost weight people would acknowledge me more, would be getting more attention from girls, be easier to talk to, all of it. I can honestly say I have noticed no difference. In fact my mum even hates that I’m not bigger anymore and says I look terrible all the time, it’s quite discouraging. In fact the only change I have noticed is internal, that I do feel more confident and dress up all the time because it makes me happy and feel good, but it doesn’t feel like anyone else seems to care, like I’m still so invisible.

Keep in mind I did not just become skinny fat. I got stronger at this weight at the gym than at any point in my life and I am have a decent body but not shredded yet (maybe in 3 months since the cut is still going, aiming for 63kg). I don’t feel like the time was a loss since my lifestyle improved and I’m happier and more fit, but when I was fat I always felt that I would not feel invisible if I was skinny, but that’s not the case and that hurts.

Anyways, any suggestions on what I could do? Yes this is external validation that I’m angry about not having which is not very healthy, but I’ve been sorely starved of it for 22 years. Like there’s not much more I could squeeze out of the lemon it feels. Every component of my life improved from money, lifestyle, weight, gym, fashion, hygiene etc but still it didn’t do anything.
