    As from your profile you are diabetic and Coeliac I'd consult your doctor and get them to refer you to a registered dietician. Both these things will have an effect on your weight loss and you really need a professional opinion.

    I would switch out fiber for sodium and check the quantity of sodium you are eating per day/week.

    I know it is hard finding food you can eat when you have Celiac disease, but does the sugar intake affect your Insulin therefore affecting your weight?

    I agree, you should probably see a dietician. They will be able to tell you what you need.

    I also noticed you were not logging exercise. 1900 calories without exercise may be too many calories for you. You could try cutting 100 calories a day to see what happens..... and check the sodium.... if I have a lot of sodium I tend to retain water.

    +1000! Get professional help. Don't try to get advice on the forums. Not when you have serious medical issues.

    Ditto. Consult your doctor about your sugar levels. And bottom line is that 1900 may not be a deficit for you.
