    You are probably not eating enough given the amount of exercise you do. WIthout seeing your food diary, it sounds you barely get to 1200 cals. You need to eat your exercise calories too, or at least half of them.

    I do, I will keep at it, perhaps I am losing inches rather than weight at the moment

    Yes! Measure yourself. Take photos from all angles. I eat plenty, haven't lost lbs for a while, but have lost around 10 inches overall...happy with that, as getting fit, slim and not hungry! I'm not too worried about what the scale says. Sometimes that's easier said than done though. Sounds like most have given you sound advice. Good luck!

    I have taken measurements, I have lost a few cm actually e.g 2cm round my thighs on each leg, but I seem to care more what the scale says lol

    Here's a bit of a riddle for you.

    If you were maintaining weight before going on a diet, your body was storing a maintenance weight in food - and along with that, a maintenance level of glycogen and water. What happens to the weight from those three sources when you decrease calories substantially?

    If you restricted calories for some time and experience a "gain" in weight when upping calories, what would be the reason you are "gaining" this weight?
