Amanda Bynes, the former Nickelodeon star, was spotted in Los Angeles this week showing off her remarkable 30-pound weight loss during a casual outing. The actress, 39, donned a low-cut bra top paired with black basketball shorts, black Vans sneakers, and a Dior handbag, proudly displaying her midsection as she walked to her car.
Bynes, who recently revealed a new “Trapstar” tattoo, was later seen shopping with her boyfriend, Zachary Khan, while carrying a Red Bull energy drink. She has credited her recent weight loss to the popular medication Ozempic, which she began using last year to help reach her target weight. In December, Bynes shared on Instagram that she had dropped from 180 pounds to 152 pounds, calling the transformation “really inspiring.”
The actress previously struggled with weight gain linked to depression, noting in March 2024 that she had gained more than 20 pounds during a difficult period. She said at the time that she had learned to take “opposite action” when feeling unmotivated to work out or eat healthily.
Beyond her fitness journey, Bynes has been focusing on her creative projects. Earlier this year, she announced on social media that she was returning to the studio to work on an electronic dance music track titled “girlfriend.” She expressed excitement for fans to hear the finished song, adding that she was eager to share her work with her more than 600,000 followers.
Bynes has also seen stability in her personal life. She began dating Zachary Khan in September 2025, and insiders say the relationship has brought a sense of balance following her split from ex-partner Paul Michael.
The actress has faced highly publicized struggles over the years, including substance abuse, mental health challenges, and a nine-year conservatorship imposed by her parents in 2013. Even after its termination in 2022, Bynes continued to confront mental health issues and spent time in a psychiatric facility following her breakup with Michael.
Now, she appears to be making significant strides in both her personal and professional life, demonstrating resilience as she navigates weight loss, music, and a new relationship.
