    I do weigh my foods with a scale. I guess I didn't mention that. So I really don't think I'm over eating. Grrrrrr.... I'm so confused! I don't know how many calories to eat or to burn.

    Then, I'd suggest seeing a doctor to make sure you don't have any medical problems that might cause you trouble losing weight.

    I'm confused. If I burn over 2000 calories per day and I only eat 1650, how is that not a deficit?

    The problem is that these numbers are estimates. Your body is the ultimate source of truth. If you haven't lost weight in 8 months you have found your maintenance. By all means, see your Dr. if you have fears of a medical issue...but when all is said and done you haven't been eating at a deficit.
