Antarctica is a continent and continents do not melt.
Today, the ice shelves at the edges of Antarctica are deteriorating from underneath, due to warming ocean waters. The ice sheet that covers 98% of the continent does melt and freeze seasonally.
There is no exact answer to your question, but scientists have documented a trend with several options. One is that the continental ice sheet isn't melting.
