Low Intake for Years Causing Weight Gain?

Over the last 10 years, I moved to a different country to live with my bf and I went from roughly 70kg and decently active with an average diet, to a very low income and eating maybe 1200c a day if I was lucky. I've done that for nearly 10 years and despite everything saying that it should be causing 'extreme weight loss' for my 174cm body, I've gotten the heaviest I've ever been. I ate twice a day and would sleep when I was hungry or drink a lot of water. My exercise has gotten to basically nothing - especially now in lockdown - but also I developed a nerve issue 4 years ago that has made daily life nearly intolerable, I can't make dinner without finishing something as quick as pasta without agony.

I'm now 36, and weigh roughly 120kg which is horrible. I'm sure it's adding to my issues pressing nerves where they shouldn't be, but I'm finally able to eat a little better. I've been looking back at my intake and wondering, shouldn't I have lost more weight or did my body enter starvation mode for years? And how the hell do I get it OUT of starvation mode so I can actually lose weight again?
