Hi! For back story- I am 24 year old 5'5" female and I weigh 145.8 currently. January 2020 I started at 192 and in December 2020 I weighed 136. I didn't know how to healthily lose weight so I was definitely under eating and I know that now. So when I took calories in december up (because I stopped losing) from 1000 to 1600 I gained weight because I think my body and metabolism adjusted to such low calories. So I carefully reverse dieted from 1600 to maintence of 2000 (went up by 50 calories per week) and maintained my weight around 143 for about 4 months. I have since had a few vacations and decided I was to enjoy my summer on 2000 calories while still counting everything except vacations. Before my last vacation I weighed 146 and returning i weighed 150.4. The day after I got home from vacation I started to deficit again at 1500, so within a week and a half I was down to 144. The following week I weighed, I remained 144 and now one week later I am at 145.8. 1 am confused because I should be losing one pound per week at 1500 calories. I know I am still 5 pounds less than when I got back but I am confused why the scale is not slowly moving down. I understand scales constantly fluctuate but if I am not going down I may as well eat at maintenance if i'm gonna stay the same or gain. Is this something my body needs time adjusting to? I have OCD so i track every single calorie I eat and I walk 2 miles per day religiously. I was going to start mild weight lifting today to tone my body a bit hopefully. Please help as I am lost and this makes it hard to not lower my calories further. Thanks!
