why am I not losing weight?

Is 1200 cals recommended by the app or your doctor? It seems quite low considering the amount of activity you're doing, so it might be that your body is trying to conserve energy.

Sometimes it depends on the kinds of things you're eating, but looking at your diary you're eating good fresh food with plenty of veg so I don't see too much of an issue with that. Some people will probably say things like you're eating too much fruit like bananas, but I've never had an issue and eat tons of it.

Have you also tried measuring yourself? Sometimes we don't see success on the scales but can lose inches as our water/muscle/fat ratios change.

Four days of logging is a little short, give yourself time (and credit) you are doing the right thing. Also I noticed that your allowance was about 1400 but it is at 1000 for today (plus exercise). Are you cycling through the week or doing this for a specific reason? 1400 seems fine, 1000 - especially for someone active, seems like an invitation to have issues quickly.

When I saw my doctor she said I might have to reduce my calorie intake to 1000 calories so have adjusted that. It does seem really low though for the amount of excersise I do. Waiting now for results of my blood tests.
I would like to thank you so much for taking the trouble to give me advice. I will keep you posted on my progress.

I'm going to suggest you stick to your prior goal and give yourself at least 2-3 weeks of solid logging before making further changes. 1000 cals is miserable for someone active.

I will take your advice and adjust accordingly...thank you!

Hang in there! It can take a little while to register like everyone says. I also agree that 1000 cals is miserably low and doesn't give you enough opportunity to get the nutrients your body needs to function.

I'd also recommend measuring yourself with a tape measure rather than relying on the scales - if you're active you will hopefully be changing fat into muscle and will lose size without necessarily losing weight.
