Net Calories are under but still not losing weight, Need help!
I know not getting enough protein & calories are as accurate as they can be a wear a polar HRM.
I do have issues to sleep I don't get more than a few hours like 4 or 5 on lucky days.

    Has sleep always been an issue or just after restricting your calories?
    are you weighing your food?
    are you counting calories in condiments, drinks, supplements, cooking oil etc?
    How many days has it been since you haven't lost weight?

    I suspect your calorie burns are inflated.

    And possibly underestimating food.
    For the entries that aren't take out, are you using a food scale?

    While I don't think that take out food is evil, it does make it much harder to be accurate as there can be a lot of variation in the estimates. I would try to eat more food I've prepared on my own to be more accurate.

    How much if any of your exercise calories are you eating back?

    50-75% seems to be recommended.

    My first questions would be are you accurately weighing, measuring and honestly logging your food?
    Are you sure your exercise calorie burns are ball park correct?

    I frequently survive on 5 hours sleep. It's not ideal but it hasn't stopped me from losing.

    If you're not losing weight, you're not in a deficit.

    Are you using a food scale?
    Are you exercising? Cardio or strength? Eating back your calories? (50%? 100%?)

    How do you view his log? You two friends? Cause says private for me.

    1,500 calories for 4.5 hours of golf, and using a cart seems REALLY high.

    http://www.golfdigest.com/blogs/the-loop/2014/04/do-the-walk-of-life.html

    "The amount of calories varies by distance walked and also the metabolic rate of the golfer. But fitness experts estimate you’ll burn roughly 1,500 calories during a four-hour round. That’s 825 calories more--or roughly a Burger King Whopper and some onion rings--than if you ride in a cart."

    Something tells me your burns are off ... A LOT.

    We are not friends. It does not show it as private for me

    Odd cause I noticed this a few times where others could view logs that were private to me. I assumed they were friends.

    It is private on my phone app, but public when I log in on the PC. Seems like a bug with MFP

    Sounds like it's a problem with the iPhone app. I'll report it as a bug to MFP when I get home later (if I remember).

    Yeah i can see the diary too.
    OP, your macros are all F**ED UP ..
    similarly, you're not consistent with your calorie intake.
    287 carbs, 31 fats, 358 proteins?
    that sounds like you're adjusting your macros around the food you eat in your day, instead of adjusting your food around your macro requirements.
