    Do you exercise? Because it seems to me that you're not logging it, and only eating short of 1200 calories per day so your intake is probably far too low.
    With your stats, I'm getting your BMR to be approx 1700. So start upping your calories. Maybe start with actually reaching your goal of 1300, then slowly up it.

    Or use the TDEE-20 method. Calculate your TDEE (which will be like 2300, but check it over) and minus 20% from that. Good luck!
