Help! Not losing despite doing everything right!

Disclaimer: I did lose some weight starting out. However, now my weight loss is slowing to a crawl! I eat about 1600-1700 cals a day, I give myself 250 for breastfeeding my 13 month old, and then I usually earn about 300-400 via my steps that sync via my Fitbit. I really would like to be losing faster. It's so frustrating to get on the scale and hover at the same weight for weeks when I feel I am working so hard. I even weigh and measure foods, so I do feel my calorie counts are accurate. What could I be doing wrong?!

    How closely does your fitbit tie in to what MFP claims *should be* your TDEE? I used to add calories burned from a pedometer, but then realised that MFP had already accounted for my daily movement when I didn't choose sedentary in the setup.

    Switching negative adjustments on, I realised that not only was subtracting pedometer calories incorrect, but just to meet the expectations of MFP I had to do a lot more activity than I thought. Could be a possibility?
