Default weight training and pants are tighter!!!!!!!

Okay, I took the advise from many of you and started weight training. I even hired a personal trainer and am lifting lighter weights and high reps (23-35). I am doing cardio 4 days a week pretty intensley. I have been doing weights 2 weeks now, 4 sessions. He had me do ALOT of ab work too, crunches, iso ab exercise, etc. So this is my question:

WHY ARE MY PANTS TIGHTER THAN BEFORE??

WHY IS THE WAIST TIGHTER? I WAS FINALLY ABLE TO ZIP AND BUTTON THEM BEFORE BUT NOW THEY ARE TIGHTER AFTER WORKING OUT LIKE THIS!!

My traininer told me that muscle is builing on top of the fat. He said the fat loss has not caught up with the muscle but it will if I am patient. He keeps advocating doing weights and building a "fat burning machinery" body. Is there any one out there that has had the same experience? I am so darn fruserated. I just really am/

Peace
Kat
