Plateau?

Sorry if this is like many other posts that I’ve seen on here but I feel like I’m going crazy and I’d like some advice. On January 1st I started my weight loss journey at 226lbs. The first thing I wanted to get right was my diet so I started counting calories and restricted myself to 1200 calories per day. I started doing light exercise 5-6 times per week but I ultimately fell out of the habit as I had exams at the end of January but I stuck rigidly to my diet.

January was amazing. I was losing 2.5-3lbs per week. Then February happened. I weigh myself daily to account for any fluctuations and where I was seeing 4-6 ounces of movement per day, now most days the number stays the same. One day I’ll drop 2 ounces and the next nothing at all. Over the last two weeks I’ve lost 1.5lbs. I’m currently at 209.6lbs.

What I want to know is whether this is a plateau that I just need to power through or if I’m not doing enough to sustain 2lbs a week weight loss? I have started exercising again but I’ve only been doing that for around 4 days. Any guidance/advice is much appreciated.
