    If your calorie goal is 1200 and then you exercise and burn 400 more, you should eat 1600. Eat back those exercise calories!

    There is no way you wouldn't lose weight eating 1200 calories a day and not eating back your exercise calories.
    Either there is something wrong medically or you are not weighing, measuring and logging properly.
    In other words-you're eating more than you think.

    This. The physics can not be avoided. Check your math.

    This. Opening your diary might also give us more insights.

    Had no idea of this. I've just been told to eat 1,200 cals and exercise? My knowledge in this isn't strong since I'm doing this all by my self.

    We're all doing this by ourselves. But there's a very supportive community of people here trying to help you. And MFP does all the calculations for you.

    Log your exercise and it will give you the number of calories to eat back. Eat those back.
