    Simple answer. Not eating enough food and change up your exercise routine.

    You mean you haven't lost from Saturday until today? That's normal. It's normal not to see a loss every week. Weight loss is not linear; it's the overall downward trend that matters.

    I don't think you necessarily need to change what you're doing if it's working for you. I personally would eat a bit more for the amount of exercise that you're doing. I also like to incorporate some strength training for the whole body - not just the abs. That will help you to prevent losing too much muscle as you lose weight. It's also good for burning fat. I don't know if you're doing those ab workouts to try to lose more fat from your tummy - lots of people do that, but it doesn't work like that. You will be strengthening the muscles, but you can't choose where the fat comes off. An all-over strength/resistance workout would probably help more.
