    I took a quick look at your food diary. I think that if your system is sensitive to sodium, that could be your problem. The biggest offender in your diet is the lunchmeat, especially the pastromi (sorry if I spelled that wrong), because it is very high in sodium. I would cut out all processed lunch meats from your diet. If you look at your totals you are 1,400 too much sodium. I would try to really watch your sodium and see if that makes a difference. Other than that, I didn't see anything in there that would be detrimental to your diet.

    It might be what you are eating too. Are you getting enough protein? And are you eating a lot of processed prepackaged foods. The sodium could be keeping your weight steady. Also, maybe your body just wants to stay where it is. I am 5'6 and my goal weight is 145. To me that seems like such a low weight but maybe your bone structure is different.

    Eat cleaner to cut out sodium and up your calories

    Okay then... 10% of your TDEE is 179

    Eat 1615 calories + exercise calories daily to lose weight at a slower (but safer) rate.
