Fat weight vs Muscle weight

I pretty much ignore my weight (Scales) and only pay attention to my size and how my clothes fit. But yesterday I went to the Dr and when I got on the scale I was "crushed" that I have only lost 40 lbs (from 265 -> 225). I thought I had lost a LOT more than that since last month, after my wife was complaining my clothes looked like drapes on my smaller body, I had to go buy all new clothes (4 sizes smaller). Is it possible that I have lost OVER 40lbs of fat, but gained 10-15 pounds of muscle? My entire body shape has changed - from flabby pot belly to looking more like a "bear" (arms, shoulders, chest, back all 'full' and visible). My diet for the last 2 moths is basically only fish, beef, and vegetables with an occasional treat of plain yogurt and fruit. I might enjoy some fruit a couple of times a week, but very limited. No bread, starches of any kind, or crap (McD's, TacoBell, chips, etc). Has anyone else found their weight not dropping but their body bulking?
