Then you aren’t at a calorie deficit. It’s thermodynamics, calories are measurable. If you burn more calories than you eat the extra calories you burn have to come from somewhere, in the case of the human body that place is the bodies fat reserves. If you aren’t losing weight you are miscalculating either calories in or calories burned.
Yeah. What are you tracking your calories in & calories burned with? Apple Watches usually report 13-25% more calories burned than you actually burned & fitbits usually report 20-30% more calories burned than you actually burned. It depends on what they are reporting and your body fat percentage and heart rate. In order to feel more energy while on the calorie deficit prioritize high-protein foods and cut out as much sugar as possible. Start with 350-500 calories below your maintenance and
gradually increase it to the max you feel comfortable with typically ~ 1000 kcal under maintenance. Get 8-9 hours of sleep every night and drink a ton of water! (E.g. I burn 1000-1200 move cal according to my Apple Watch every day so - the 13-25% and at that rate I drink 9-10 liters of water a day. Occasionally less ~7.5-8 liters) but I try to get 9-10.
