Last I heard cheap body fat measuring instruments were so inaccurate that they weren't really worth it.
I think combining the use of a scale and a tape measure, with some patience is the best bet.
Because of water & other fluctuations I wouldn't use the scale more than once a week ( same clothing, no clothing, before breakfast, same day, time ).
Even then you will get some up and down fluctuations but you can write the weight down in a notebook and keep track of the trend. Measurements are good at once a month.
If you weigth stays the same or goes down while other measurements change for the better you can be sure you are on the right track.
