Still no luck

I went on a new diet (low fat and low carbs) about 2 weeks ago. My daily caloric intake was 1700 calories. After the first week I was down to 193.5 from 195. However, this week, I am back to 195. My caloric intake has not changed, nor has my exercise routine. I do 3 days of 90 minutes of hot yoga (vinyasa flow) and the rest of the week I do a combination of running 2 miles and weight training. Does anybody know what I could possibly be doing wrong?

Without knowing your statistics or what you are eating there is no way of knowing

You're a 25 yo male with only 19 lbs to lose. The body can fluctuate 5+/- lbs a day.

If you have 75+ lbs to lose 2 lbs/week is ideal
If you have 40-75 lbs to lose 1.5 lbs/week is ideal
If you have 25-40 lbs to lose 1 lbs/week is ideal
If you have 15 -25 lbs to lose 0.5 to 1.0 lbs/week is ideal
If you have less than 15 lbs to lose 0.5 lbs/week is ideal

Eat more than your BMR.

If that's your BMR you should be eating above it. Read the links I posted, figure out your TDEE-% and go from there.

Do you do any strength training?

The problem is you're impatient. You didn't gain that weight in two weeks and it's not going to come off in two weeks either.

Give it 3 months at least.

Still no luck
