Activity level

Hey everyone,
I know this is a common question. But I'm worried I didn't put an accurate activity level. I started working as a fast food person, not ideal, so I changed my activity level to Lightly active because I'm now standing for 8ish hours a day. But I'm still not losing as much as I want to (I have it set up at 2lbs a week). Then I also try to run in the morning 5 times a week for only 2 miles, but I only eat back maybe 50% or 75% of what the treadmill says I burned because I know it overestimates.
Should I change it back to sedentary?
