    I once went through a similar situation and I couldn't work out why I wasn't losing weight. It was because I was under estimating what I was eating. As soon as I started to weigh and measure everything I ate and drank, the weight came off. Also, I have noticed that sometimes the calorie values of foods are not accurate here on MFP because its been user-added so i double check on another site sometimes as well.

    I sure hope that is the case for me. I feel like shooting for 1300 should still work even slowly (like .5 lbs a month) if I’m a few hundred over.

    I don't think you are doing nearly enough exercise.

    You eat every day. You should strive to work out every day-- at least a long walk if you can't do much that day. I would add more resistance and more cardio. at near 40, your body may be sowing down from how you used to lose.

    If you increase your work-outs and still aren't losing, have your thyroid re-checked
