You're either bad at tracking your weight or bad at tracking calories

that’s actually fucking insane and not going to help you in any way. don’t be stupid omfg. when you’re eating that far below maintenance your body is gonna hold onto calories as much as it can to keep you alive! so it will adapt and burn less calories at rest than it normally would because you’re not giving it enough food to function

omfg. that’s not a deficit that’s starving yourself. you need to eat more. that’s insane. you’re probably overeating cause you’re fucking hungry. if ur maintenance is 2700 you need to be doing like 2200 or smth.

research constrained energy expenditure 🤩too big of a deficit drops leptin and thyroid hormones while increasing cortisol, signaling your metabolism to slow down cellular processes. and decrease NEAT

If you read the previous comments you’d see that OP is literally starving themselves
