@SezxyStef: Yes, I figured it was a body composition issue. My best friend is the same height and weight as me and she has lean muscle everywhere. Do you have any suggestions as to where you're supposed to start with the body recomposition? Thank you!

you eat at maintenance calories getting in at least 0.8 grams of protein for every lb you weigh and start a structure progressive load lifting program like Stronglifts or New rules of lifting for women.

FYI, since you've been at 1200 calories (too low) you will want to increase to maintenance slowly (reverse diet) by 100-200 calories a day for a week, until you reach maintenance. You will probably see a weight gain initially but don't freak out, that's normal. Good luck!

shock your system for a week ,Change your diet toatally 100% for a week and drink way more water for a week and then go back to your regular diet. Your body gets used to things fast , so you got to really mix it up sometimes , especially when your in good shape like you.

So much no.

Listen to @SezxyStef

Also eat at least 0.35 to 0.45g of fat per lb of bodyweight (this is not a maximum, it is a minimum!)

Since you have said repeatedly that you don't want to go to the gym, can anyone suggest resistance band or bodyweight programs that are maybe safer to do than doing weights by yourself without a safety cage?

@PAV8888: Wait, haha, I didn't mean I don't want to go to the gym, I just said I'm tired and, frankly, quite out of cash for the moment, but I used to go. After I read the advice here, I suppose the reason I wasn't successful is that I used to focus on cardio and I didn't have a trainer to advise me.
