“I am working out heavily still not losing weight. What could be the reason?”
I am working out heavily every day and I am also very strict about my diet. I don’t know why I am still not losing weight. Could there be an issue with my digestion or absorption of minerals?

Must likely you are increasing muscle mass which is heavier that other tissues. It is also possible your diet may not be appropriate for your activity level/goal
If your weight is stable then there is nothing wrong with your digestion or absorption. Malabsorption or other digestion problems would result in weight loss unintentionally. Your intestines probably work just fine.
Weight loss is very hard to achieve for many reasons but malabsorption is not one of them. You may want to seek the help of a registered dietician to go over your precise daily caloric needs, i.e., how many calories you should be consuming (given your exercise regimen) in order to lose weight. Initially, you may be adding muscle while fat goes away, but weight stays the same. Eventually, the weight will go down as long as you are not overeating.

Typically, malabsorption causes weight loss. Hormonal issues such as a low thyroid can cause this as well.
Hi. I’m not aware how old you are. Your gender is also needed to answer the question fully. Hormonal imbalance is a common cause of weight gain or failure to lose weight, but there can be many other conditions as well.
