3 years ago I started my journey and lost 30lb in basically 3 months, since then I’ve only lost 5lb

I started my weight loss journey 3 years ago and it started off great, I started a 1,200 calorie diet which I tracked on MyFitnessPal with no additional exercise other than my usual walks to and from work totalling 1 hour a day. I was feeling better, looking better and starting to get a healthier mindset. I then went on holiday for 2 weeks where I ate whatever I wanted because...well I was on holiday and thought I deserved to just enjoy myself. Since then I’ve been on and off dieting trying to find my groove again, so one month of eating healthily, seeing I’ve lost weight then rewarding myself with bad food and eating whatever I want to then put back on the weight the following month, and repeat. Since late December 2019 I started my 1,200 calorie diet again and lost 1lb a week for 5 weeks, since February I’ve lost nothing. I log everything from the extra teaspoon of sauce in a meal to a little chocolate my colleague offers me. After the first week of February I saw no scale change so I started to implement exercise. 3 or more times a week a 30+ minute run, 5 times a week 30 minutes of HIIT, and 4 times a week 30 minutes of weight workouts, as well as my 5 times a week walks to and from work totalling 1 hour each day. I weighed myself this morning and I’ve lost nothing still. Any tips to change things up to help me? I’m at a loss and feel disheartened that all my hard work is for nothing.
