I'm not sure I fully understand your writing, but it sounds like you ran
NVT . If so, the density won't change. If that was a typo and you used NPT,
then your density seems lower than it should have been at the start (but
you don't say the initial value.) if the density went down, you probably
had high energies and need better minimization and equilibration. Your
protocol is simpler than what my lab uses, which involves slowly turning
off restraints the. However, it's not possible to know if that is the
problem without you looking more carefully into what happens, and when.
