Dynamic sized labels inside a table not refreshing in ios

My table has cells which have several labels. I want one of these labels to fit its size so text begins right below the Title (remember that Labels align text vertically unless you fit its container).

My cell

Problem is, the very first time the table is loaded all labels' texts are succesfully populated but label sizes don't actually graphically apply until the NEXT time a refresh is asked. (if I ask for a reloadData with the exact same information, the labels' sizes work flawlessly).

This is some of my cellForRowAtIndexPath code:

cell.body.text = user.message;
[cell.body sizeToFit];

The only solution I've found so far is double calling [table reloadData] but this is an ugly solution. Any way I can fix this?

Edit: Previous code was a summary, I'll show the whole code here as requested:

- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
    TwitterTweetCell *cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:@"TwitterTweetCell"];

    // Populate cell

    TweetModelData *tweet = [self.twitterModelData.tweets objectAtIndex:[indexPath item]];

    cell.tweetName.text = tweet.user;
    cell.tweetChannel.text = tweet.userName;

    cell.tweetBody.text = tweet.message;
    [cell.tweetBody sizeToFit];

    return cell;
}

Regarding cell size, everything is working ok. Depending on the size of the message each cell has a different size which was pre-calculated before.

- (CGFloat)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView heightForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
    return ((TweetModelData *)[self.twitterModelData.tweets objectAtIndex:[indexPath item]]).tweetHeight + 30.0f;
}

I finally found it. Don't know the reason, but it seems disabling "Use autolayout" on my storyboard fixed it.

I'm guessing auto-layout was overwriting the layout changes I was applying so they had no effect until the next data reload.
