Fasted and "only coffee before" are not the same thing. And why are smarties a major part of your diet? I really have trouble believing that smarties carry 50 g. carbs, let alone high-quality carbs.

You haven't provided all that much info. How often are you doing cardio? WHAT cardio are you doing? How often are you lifting? What kind of lifting are you doing? "Samples" of a routine and diet don't do much.

My guess would be that if you're doing all this, you're
a) not eating enough
b) doing the wrong sort of cardio

a) I weighed slightly more than you (205) and was trying to lose weight for a while a few weeks ago and because I didn't really think it through I tried just having lots of protein and low calories - like 2000 a day, about. It did not work at all. Then I upped my calories to about 2600 and started losing MORE weight. You're a big guy - your body will hold on to more fat if it doesn't think it's going to receive enough of it.

b) Read this article for starters:

And consider that. To distill some of the information from that: running at a high intensity for a long time leads to muscle breakdown eventually - and 45 min. counts as eventually. Shorter duration and higher intensity leads to more fat burned and a higher metabolic rate post-cardio.

So aside from supplying a bit more info, think about those two points.
