Extremely frustrated.

I've been trying to lose weight since May. Started on Lose It! and then switched over to MFP about a month ago. Lose It! was giving me a calorie goal of ~1650, then MFP one of ~1550 before I realized that with the pedometer I should have it set to sedentary. I'm now on my second week of a net calorie goal of 1340. I'm walking on average probably 7,000 steps a day and eating those exercise calories.

Thing is, I haven't lost any weight in two months. Since this is all just the biology of calories and I am not eating a lot of calories, I feel like I should be losing weight. I am completely at a loss as to what I'm doing wrong.

well are those 7000 steps actually exercise or just daily routine stuff like getting a drink of water, going to the bathroom, etc. If so you shouldn't be eating those back as they are figured into your calories from MFP based on your activity level set.

But that being said you don't need exercise to lose weight you just need to be in a deficit. Try not eating back those "exercise" calories and see what happens.

How much weight are you trying to lose? How accurate is your food logging? Are you weighing all solids and measuring all liquids?
