Weight loss: Rob Kardashian, 28, is said to have shed 15lbs so far on his weight loss mission, seen here in an Instagram snap over the weekend where he flexed his muscles and shared a glimpse of his slimmer look

Seems to be working: The younger brother to Kourtney, Kim and Khloe Kardashian posted this selfie showing off a much more slimmed down face last month

An insider told US Weekly: '[He's] already lost more than 15 pounds. Rob has been sticking to the plan Gunnar [Peterson] created for him, and is getting meal delivery from a chef.'

The source also indicated he is preparing to make a comeback after staying out of the spotlight over the past year and refusing to appear on Keeping Up With The Kardashians.

Last month his sister Kim Kardashian, 34, revealed that she had been on a hike with her brother.

It not only signaled Rob was starting to try and lose weight, but also came five months after he drew parallels between Kim and Rosamund Pike's character Amy Elliott-Dunne, the cunning villain of 2014 movie Gone Girl.

Flashback: Seen here back in December 2012

'This is my sister Kim, the b**** from Gone Girl,' Rob captioned an image of Pike's character covered in blood back in March, before later deleting it.

In the past Kim - who is pregnant with a baby boy, due in December, has been vocal about a tough love approach to Rob and his issues.

During an episode of Keeping Up With The Kardashians in April, matriarch Kris Jenner was in tears about how they could best help Rob.

Jenner said: 'I'm not a therapist. I'm not a doctor, but I do know that we've got all of the resources in the world, and yet he doesn't access.'

Kim then interjected: 'I think that now what we have to do is everyone back off.

'Everyone licks Rob's a** and does whatever he says. And it's just at some point, you just have to give it up. We all make his life so easy.'

And she didn't stop there: 'Okay, we'll drive you around with a chauffeur so no one has to look at you. We had a chef on standby, a trainer. We'll send people to run out and buy you socks and underwear. Like, this is pathetic.'

Back in May 2014 Rob dramatically snubbed his sister's wedding to Kanye West in Italy.

After flying in from Los Angeles to attend, he decided not to go at the last minute and caught a flight home.

It was rumoured at the time he left because he didn't want to be pictured in family wedding photos due to his weight gain.
