Stuck at a plateau I’ve broken through before. Why?!

I. Am. So. Frustrated.

I (F, 30) first got serious about getting fit and healthy around two years ago. My start weight was 62.5kg (138 pounds) and eventually I was down to 56.8kg (125 pounds), which I was able to comfortably maintain. I’m 162cm, for reference.

Then I went on holidays.

In a week in Japan, I put on two kilos. I lost a bit, after I came home, then had another week long holiday a couple of months later, which caused me to regain again, up to about 59.6kg. This is about eight months ago now.

I have not been able to get the scales down past 58.6kg (130 pounds) since then — two kilos more than my lowest weight before. And for the life of me, I can’t figure out why.

I eat the same amount of calories per day now as I did then. I do the same exercise regimen. It’s possible I’m just eating out more on weekends now than I was before and that’s why I’m heavier, but I don’t really think so. I aim for 1400 cals per day on weekdays — which I do a pretty full on workout on — so I just can’t really bring my calories any lower without starving myself.

Is it possible my body has adjusted to my new healthy way of life now and that without the shock to the system my initial weight loss gave, I’ll never lose that weight again? Has anyone experienced this? Is there any way to break through it?

Please help me! I just want my old weight back!
