Cant lose weight

My stats: Gender: Male Height: 6'5" Weight: about 290 Caloric intake: 1300 - 1800 Activity leval: High Daily steps: 13,000-16,000

Background: I started a new job as a ware house associate at interstate battery around 9/22/2020 and quickly lost weight. I went from 312 lbs to 290 by oct 22. I decided to use this as a springboard to get in shape.

I started eating a high carb, high protein, low fat, no sugar diet, and recently started cal counting and have been working out almost 3 times a week fairly consistantly since then. I run about a 1.5 miles and do pushups and situps (i want to join the military).

My garmin watch claims i burn 5,000-6,000 calories a day paired with only 1300 - 1800 cal intake, i figure i should be losing pretty fast.

The only 2 things i can think of is one of 2 options:

  1. I sometimes slip on a weekend day and may eat 2,000 - 3,000 cal and i dont really excercise on the weekends, so my body may be using that to maintain its weight, although i have only done this twice.
  2. Im building muscle from working so hard at the same rate as fat loss so a net 0 weight loss (people have mentioned i look thinner).

My weight has been fluctuating between 284 and 295 for the past month and a half, and today it was 292.

What am i doing wrong?
