The times that I have had mine checked it was by bio-electrical impedance at the gym. I don't know how accurate that it. You could ask at your gym how they test body fat and get it done there and then check back after 12 weeks. Just make sure it's the same person doing the test all the time, if possible.
The most accurate I was told was the hydrostatic method where you are submerged in a huge tank of water. It's expensive to get done.
There are also site like mybodycomp where you put in your measurements and it will give you a body fat %. I hate that site it always has my bodyfat higher than at other sites.
I guess the scale although not the best in terms of accuracy is the most convenient.
