Saddle numbness....

I apologize for the multiple posts about my saddle issues, but it seems to be the only thing that is keeping me from my goal of losing weight.

I continue to experience numbness on rides regardless of the saddle and or tilt. I have tried a lot of different saddles including a Brooks and a Selle an Atomica. But for whatever the reason I am still getting numb. I generally try to level the saddle and then adjust the tilt accordingly.

I have had a bike fitting and I am using quality shorts (usually Assos or Descente). My bars are only dropped -.5cm from the nose of the saddle. I also make a point of getting out of the saddle frequently

I am not sure what else to do seeing as I do not want to damage anything. My only other thought is that my core muscles are weak and causing my pelvis to rotate while on the bike. Any suggestions are appreciated.
