    I agree with @WinoGelato that your deficit might be too steep. Are you doing all that exercise in addition to restricting calories or are you at least eating back some of the exercise calories? You want to lose weight and recomp in a healthy way, so please consider eating back about half of the exercise calories to make sure you're getting adequate nutrition.

    Also, try not to worry too much about what the scale says, since it can fluctuate a lot. How do you feel? How do your clothes fit? Are you seeing change in the mirror? That's sometimes a better measure of progress than what a scale tells you. :)
