Not losing weight - any advice?

Just found this community, and I've been really enjoying lurking and seeing how people are doing.

I'm 20F, 5'5", 142lbs. I've been trying to get down to about 120lbs for a while now; I gained a lot of weight since starting university, and it's causing discomfort and pain (a lot of the extra weight has gone to my chest).

Currently, I'm eating at my BMR, ~1400cals a day. On a bad day, I might go up to 1500-1600, but I also workout minimum 4-5 days a week. Started at 1hr of weight lifting a day, but I've slid down to 30mins due to school commitments. In the past week, I've started doing a bit of cardio (elliptical). My stamina is poor as I've never been a cardio person, but I've been doing 10mins minimum, taking a break, and then doing what more I can.

It's been almost 3 weeks since I really started, and I saw the loss of one pound before going back up. Am I expecting things to go too quickly? I'm really new to the concept of intentional weight loss, and so I don't really know what to expect. Do you have any advice? Thank you in advance!
