Body fat % - how do you reduce this?

Hi,

I'm a 5'1" female, weighing 130pounds. I've been quite active [not very active] through this year managing about 3 w/os per week (except for 2-3 months in the middle of this year). I have not tracked my food intake though until last month.
At the start of the year my body fat was at 33%. In the last 2 months I've done a good amount of cardio and weight training w/os and good diet, I've just got a re-baselined body fat done. Its up and now is at 34.5% (I'm still around the same weight I was at the start of the year).

I was wondering why my body fat has gotten worse even after 2 good months. [Ofcourse I had not taken my body fat % then]
My nutritionist feels that since I dont consume anything before my morning w/o, my body doesnt have any ready carbs to consume. It therefore targets the protein which would have helped build muscle.
Is this true ?

I've been asked to make some changes to add a banana before the w/o and protein (2 egg whites) within 1/2 hr of the end of my w/o in the mornings.

Thankful for any thoughts, advice or suggestions that you may have to share.
