    Go to your Dr and have blood work done there could very likely be an imbalance that is keeping you from loosing weight

    Ninety nine percent of the time it's due to inaccuracy such as overestimating calories burned, under estimating calories eating, overestimating TDEE, not weighing out food etc.

    To OP:

    Calculate your TDEE using a TDEE calculator (look on google and be 100% honest with activity levels etc.) and eat about 10% less than that. After a few weeks if nothing has shifted maybe eat 100-150 calories less. (don't go ridiculously low like 1300 a day)

    Some people have cheat meals/cheat days weekly and don't realise you can easily compromise your entire week over the weekend. Drinking + food + "hangover cure food" can easily completely negate your calorie deficit from the entire week. Try to just fit one cheat meal into your calories and macros once or twice a week.

    Without actually stating what you have done, how accurate you are at logging and other various aspects no-one can really make an educated guess at what you are doing wrong.

    Ditto. OP do you use MFP and weigh and log your food?

    If you truly have done everything, to include eating at a cal deficit for an extended period of time, then you should see your dr and have blood tests done.

    Vague post is vague.

    What have you done, what are your goals? How long have you been "doing everything for"? Need so much more information.

    Track EVERY calorie in. WEIGH ALL YOUR FOOD. Don't use measuring cups--weigh it. Stick to your cal goal every day. Exercise as much as you have time for--a mix of cardio and weights but don't eat back exercise cals or at least not the number the cardio machine says.

    If you still don't see things happening, go to your doctor.

    I had the same problem for a while. I was doing t25 and running and eating (what I thought) was less calories. I recently started intermittent fasting (5:2) and started losing weight. So it came down to I was eating too much. So maybe try 5:2 for a week or two and see if that gets the scale started. Then go from there, fasting or not.
