If you've just started a new workout regemine, you're likely retaining water due to increase cortisol levels. Eating at a large deficit and working out a lot can also increase cortisol levels, and so this can mask possible weight loss. (More info: http://www.bodyrecomposition.com/fat-loss/why-big-caloric-deficits-and-lots-of-activity-can-hurt-fat-loss.html/)
Add that to the fact that you have in fact lost weight, your expectations don't seem very reasonable. Set a moderate deficit, eat to your calorie goal, log accurately, and give it time.
This, great advice!0
