1380 cal, 70% f, 5% c, 35%p

I think your numbers are off.... your macros equal 110%.

I would keep your macros as they are for the time being... if anything I'd add more fat and lower protein intake a bit. It's only been 2 weeks, so don't freak out if there haven't been any changes yet. Some people start slow, then they'll lose a bunch of weight really quickly.

How were you eating prior to starting a LCHF diet? Did you have any signs of metabolic syndrome? One thing I will say is that if you're working out 6 days a week, eating 1380 calories a day seems really low. It might be beneficial for you to eat more while your body adapts to a different way of eating...

Since you have PCOS, there's no doubt some insulin resistance. This could be making you more likely to convert protein into glucose. I would honestly decrese protein and increase fat.
Did you set calorie and macros using one of the Keto calculators? Try this one if you haven't done this yet. http://keto-calculator.ankerl.com
If it sets your calorie goal at around what you have then I would keep the calories set low.
I hate to regurgitate the crap we often hear, but accurate calorie recording and exercise burns are sometimes the culprit. If it's possible that you may be selecting incorrect MFP entries or not quite recording the amounts correctly, it could certainly make alot of difference. Just consider those possibilities.
The other really common thing that happens when weight isn't coming off is that inches actually are. If you haven't measured yet, definitely make it a priority to do so. And not just your waist. Measure your biceps, neck, thighs, around the ribs, hips... Because you may not get any result in one area but see something in another. I know that early in for me, I was surprised that I had a huge loss around my ribs but very little anywhere else at one point. To date, I've had the biggest losses in that area. Just make sure that you measure at the largest place for each one and the tape measure is parallel all the way around. And measure smallest area at the waist. This will help with accuracy.
It's really unusual to at least not get done loss showing from a bit of water weight from burning through glycogen, so that makes me wonder if you're getting some sneaky carbs and it kinda makes the protein thing make more sense too...
Anyway, part of the process is experimenting and adjusting. I'd try lower protein, higher fat and really really watch for sneaky carbs for the next week and see if anything changes.
For sneaky carbs, consider if you have too much artificial sweetener or are preparing low carb versions of high carb foods and maybe even eating too many nuts or slightly higher carb veggies... Keep your veg green and it should be good.
I hope this helps you figure things out. Sometimes, there isn't even a good answer and just seeing it through a bit longer is all that's needed.

@Sunny_Bunny_ thanks that answer was very helpful I'm also going to try that for a few days because I use a lot of sweetnee sometimes and like I said I think I've been eating too much cheese!

One approach is to aim for your recommended protein, eat only the carbs that you allot yourself, and fill up the rest of your calorie allowance with fat. I'm trying to eat less saturated fat and more olive oil, which means leaner meat, less cheese, and more vegetables with olive oil on them.

If the South Beach diet worked for you, you could go higher carb by having more vegetables, without going all the way to high, or even moderate, carb.

Cheese was mentioned... Cheese can derail a fair number of us - it does me. It's rather annoying how many calories cheese can hold. That's an easy spot for me to have calories creep up. That and nuts. Mmmmm. Nuts...

That's what I was about to say! Great minds.. Lol
Too much cheese tends to make me feel heavy. And it's entirely due to clogging up the plumbing. If I eat too much cheese, I will put on weight due to the contents of my gut! Earlier this week I had a bit too much cheese and protein too and my weight was up more than 2lbs overnight. Today, after doubling my magnesium dose to help create some elimination, I literally lost 1.8lbs from what I weighed upon waking, after a visit to the bathroom. Sorry if TMI, but, that's how it went...
And that was even after drinking 32 ounces of Keto coffee, which would've added some weight from its volume in my belly. And... I wasn't totally constipated this week, just slow moving.
Seriously, consider cheese a bit and think about that heaviness you're feeling... It could simply be masking possible losses.
I have to take 3, 250mg magnesium oxide tablets to relieve the gut fullness. The amount will vary from person to person and a different type of magnesium is often ok too like citrate.

Yes full that's how I feel I'm not constipated but my gut is like

Congrats! @neohdiver
