Macros/calorie question- not seeing weight loss

Hi all,

First time poster! I hired a personal trainer to lose weight for my wedding in February 2026. I’m 5’6 and my starting weight averaged 162 between May & mid-June. I started with my trainer at the beginning of June and my macros are: 1,200 calories a day, 130g protein, 100g carbs and 32g fat. For exercise, I’ve been walking 4.5 miles 4-5x a week, peloton 4-5x a week and lifting with my trainer 2x a week. I just weighed myself today and I’m at 158. I’m getting a bit discouraged because I’ve been working so hard, weighing and tracking all of my food and I was hoping to see more of a change on the scale. To be fair, I do feel more lean but I’m a bit worried that my calories are too low- there are some days I don’t hit the 1,200 mark. Just looking for general advice, support, thoughts…whatever is out there. Am I being unrealistic in hoping I would have seen a bigger scale change? I was pretty out of shape when I started training since I was rebounding from a herniated disc/sciatica that was so bad I couldn’t stand up to put my pants on. Anyways- thanks for reading and the thoughts!
