If you haven't been taking in enough calories, then your body will go into a kind of "starvation mode". It has a lot to do with different hormones increasing & decreasing to maintain/preserve your weight. So......if you gradually up your caloric intake to a manageable deficit, your hormones should normalize and allow you to use body fat for fuel. I see lots of severely overweight people taking in < 1500 calories per day. They all stall eventually. Make it a long term commitment with short term goals and you'll progress very well. You're doing a good job so far.
