Am I eating enough?

Hi all

I lost 10kg last year by using the myfitnesspal app to count calories (cut my intake to about 1250 cals/day). I also started going to exercise classes but only towards the end of that 10kg (took about 6 months in total to lose that amount). I had surgery in July (so stopped diet and exercise) and have only just gotten motivated to try to lose the remaining weight (about 7kg).

For the past 6 weeks, I have been eating around 1300-1400 cals per day and going to classes (Zumba, Sh'Bam, Bokwa, BodyVive) at 3-5 times a week. But the scales have not budged! I feel pretty good though but I'm very frustrated by the lack of weight loss.

I've been doing some reading and wonder if maybe I need to eat more calories, given all the exercise I am doing (I did 5 classes last week).
Any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks
A

    I believe that may be too low. Are you eating back your exercise calories?

    what's your macronutrient breakdown?

    what's your RMR (resting metabolic rate)?
