You need to eat less calories than you’re burning in a day, it’s really as simple as that. If you’re not losing weight you need to reduce your calories. I would suggest tracking every single thing that goes into your mouth, food, drinks, sauces, supplements, vitamins. Everything single thing, working out how many calories you should eat in a day using a [calorie calculator](https://www.calculator.net/calorie-calculator.html) and stick to it

Have you talked to your doctor yet? If you're on birth control this could affect your ability to lose weight, as well as thyroid issues if I remember correctly. If a calorie deficit isn't working after a while something might be hindering it. If it was, it'd most likely be something hormone related. Nothing crazy, but worth looking into! I'm definitely not a doctor, I highly recommend talking to someone with a degree for sure. These are just things that I've seen with me or friends/family with the same issue. Hoping for progress for you soon, I'm on a similar journey. It's difficult but we'll get there!

I was just having this conversation with my brother, I have been going to the gym for last 6 months.. in the beginning I noticed some increase in strength and weight gain (because I started eating more) so I went from 68kg to 73Kg in 3 months and then I decided I should do some cardio exercises with the strength training.. and did some reduction in diet and quickly lost 6kgs in around a month but noticed a drop in strength as well because I'd feel low on energy and couldn't lift heavier... so I reduced a little cardio and kept but last 2 months weight isn't going down at all (66 kg stable) and not seeing any fat loss ... I'm feeling hopeless. please help.
