Stalled - Advice welcomed

I could use some help. For 7 days now I have been fluctuating by about 2lb.s at the most. I am 41 days into this and the first 30 were great with 14lbs down. I readjusted calorie intake at 10lbs down. At the same time I began a solid 3 day, full body workout with HIIT cardio and core workouts in between. I bumped up to lightly active and am at a 1380 base intake. I try to eat back most of my workout calories although i have not been great about logging gym time. I use fitness buddy app to track strength training. I use a synced Fitbit religiously to track movement at work and running.
Looking back at the past week or two I have usually ate anywhere from 1300 - 1900 calories depending on the day.
My week looks like the following:
Sunday- Rest/Recover
Monday- Warm up / Cardio / Core / Cardio / Cool down stretching
Tuesday- Full-body strength in gym / Cardio and cool down
Wednesday- Warm Up/ Jog or Cardio / Core / Cardio / Cool down stretching
Thursday- Full-body strength / Cardio and cool down
Friday- Warm up / Cardio / Core / Cardio / Cool down stretching
Saturday- Full-body strength / Cardio and cool down
My gym days are generally: Bench Press, Squats, Barbell Rows, Preacher Curls, Dumbell Raise, Dumbell Shrugs, Triceps Extensions, Dumbell Calf Raise, Barbell Pullovers / Some pullups and dips depending on the day and how i feel. 20 minutes on the Incline treadmill to keep heart rate in the 80-85% Range and some minor core workouts before cooling down.
Am I under eating? I have looked at TDEE before but the whole starvation mode thing is a bit controversial and you tend to get wild advice. I would like to think I am fairly anal about my intake tracking and I dont sneak in anything or have a cheat day that goes un-logged. I cut all caffeine out of my diet a few days ago as well. Not sure if that impacts anything.

One week without loss isn't a stall. Weight loss isn't linear. I didn't lose for the first two weeks of June, then dropped 1.5 pounds at once. Haven't lost this week, but in a week or two I'm sure I will. That's just how it works.
If in a month you're still not dropping weight you shod consider a change0 -
I am worried about under-eating. I am a numbers and business intelligence guy, I hate looking at a 7 day upward trend.0
