If you've just started a new workout regemine, you're likely retaining water due to increase cortisol levels. Eating at a large deficit and working out a lot can also increase cortisol levels, and so this can mask possible weight loss.

Add that to the fact that you have in fact lost weight, your expectations don't seem very reasonable. Set a moderate deficit, eat to your calorie goal, log accurately, and give it time.

This, great advice!
