Maintaining weight despite being in a calorie deficit?

Hi guys! Sorry in advance because you probably see this question a lot... I've been on a weight loss journey since new years and so far have lost 5,2kg/11,5lbs. I'm currently on a 500 calorie deficit (since the end of January) though I started with 300. Towards the end of January I maintained my weight, then lost a lot at once when my I got my period a week into February. (Putting this here in case my cycle has anything to do with it...) However ever since then, February 9th, l've maintained my weight despite being in a 500 calorie deficit, tracking my calories meticulously. This makes 12 days of no progress at all. Sure, I might not track accurately all of the time but there is NO WAY I'm off by 600 calories.. right? | have wondered if it has something to do with the fact that I really reduced the amount of sports I do since February, but theoretically a calorie deficit should still show results, shouldn't it? Is my deficit maybe too big? Or are 12 days of maintenance normal during weight loss?

I'm 5'8.5/ 174cm and weigh 171lbs/ 78kg atm. Unless I miscalculated my maintenance is at about 1950, while I currently eat between 1400-1500 a day.
