What could cause me to not be losing weight while eating 1200 calories a day?

I’m 28/F, 5’2”, currently 143 pounds. I gained a few pounds over the last year and I’m just trying to get back into a healthy weight range, shooting for somewhere between 125-130.

I started my current diet/exercise routine in December, eating 1200 calories a day and doing daily cardio. In about a month I went from 148 pounds to 143 pounds, everything seemed fine and I was happy with the pace of my weight loss.

But since January 4, I’ve been stuck at a plateau of 143 pounds. The only change on the scale has been when I gained a few pounds of bloating with my menstrual cycle- usually when that goes away the week afterwards, I see a whoosh of a few pounds on the scale. This time, the extra water weight went away but I didn’t lose anything else and remained at 143.

The only thing that I’m certain about is that my calorie counting has been accurate. I weigh everything I eat, and over the past month have been especially careful to make sure that I haven’t had to estimate any food. I’m really really confused as to what else the problem could be.

Does anyone have any insight?
