pretty sure i'm measuring myself wrong

hey everyone! (stats: 21F, 139 lbs/63kg, 5'3"/160cm)

i've been working towards losing the pandemic weight i put on (around 22lbs or 10kg) for around 2 months now, CICO (1300 cals/day) and a combination of cardio (whenever my schedule allows me to lol)/strength training (4x a week). i haven't seen any actual weight loss on the scale as of yet but since i've gone from working/studying from home 24/7 - aka not moving for +10 hours a day, extremely sedentary - to working out almost daily i imagine water retention + muscle repair may account for the plateau i'm currently in.

i've been focusing on taking measurements and progress pics to keep me motivated until the scale actually changes. there have been some minor decreases on some measurements (especially on my thighs, which is the first area i gain/lose weight) but they were SO minor that i can't grasp if they're actually changing or if it's wishful thinking/some unconscious tampering of my doing (like tugging the tape a little bit or inconsistent placement)

thigh -> 24,8in/63cm -> 24,2in/61,5cm

arms -> 11,8in/30cm -> 11,4/29cm

waist -> 0,5cm lost which is negligible in inches

can anyone help assess what i'm doing wrong? any tips or ideas are appreciated! thank you so much : )
