Stuck at the same weight for more than a year now

I am female, 5'6" and currently weigh around 148 lbs, at 29 % body fat. In 2017, I lost 22 lbs in a slow but steady way, counting calories each and every day, going to the gym 4-6 times a week, and it worked perfectly.

But at some point when I hit my current weight in early 2018, nothing has really changed anymore. Luckily, I was able to maintain my weight but I still kept trying to lose some more, my goal weight would be around 130 lbs.

I tried to live on somewhere between 1200-1400 calories from that point on (because losing weight at 1500 calories like before apparently didn't work anymore), changing my approaches and sometimes being successful, but then I let go a little bit and put the 4-6 lbs I had lost on again quickly.

I am trying to figure out what I have been doing wrong in the grand scheme.

My fitness trainer said I shouldn't eat below about 1400 calories a day. She says this is my BMR. But I feel when I eat around 1400 calories a day, nothing really changes. Or maybe the slip ups that didn't matter so much before now make that much difference?

I guess I am seeking for some inspiration how I can continue. I believe in calories = calories and it worked for me, but it seems to have stopped working now...?

Please send me all your weight loss tipps!!
