Not losing weight!

Ok, first, you should be eating at least 1200 calories.

What are your stats (Height/weight/age)?
Are you weighing your food with a food scale?
How tight is your logging?

I'm 5'6 and 134lbs. I don't weight my food but I always know how many calories I'm eating. I never eat out

If you're not weighing your food, you don't know how many calories you're eating. However, you don't have a lot to lose so it's going to go slow, maybe a half pound per week. So 2lbs in 22 days isn't "not losing weight", it's actually a healthy and sustainable loss given your stats.

So, even though you are actually about where you'd be expected to be, exact calories are going to matter more and more as you go down. I highly recommend getting a food scale.

You're already at a healthy weight, so the rate you're losing at is about what you should expect. Tighten up your logging and eat an appropriate amount of calories (set your goal to half a pound a week).

It seems that you are at a good weight for your height. I understand that you would like to lose weight. It's especially hard when you hardly have any to lose. I agree with everyone else, make sure you're eating at least 1200 calories a day. It sounds like you're doing fine - losing about .5 pounds a week.

I dont weigh my food and have lost 33lbs so that i dont agree with. But youre eating too little i found i lose more weight when i eat 1200-1300 cal and when yiu exercise try not to eat back your calories and if you do only up to 50%. But also youre at a healthy weight right now so it is going to be harder for you to lose weight. You have to stay consistant. But definitely id raise your calorie intake. And make sure the food is healthy the less processed the better.

I look at the serving sizes but I don't actually measure and thanks!

If you don't weigh your food, you don't actually know exactly how many calories you're eating. Even pre packaged items are off on weight. They are estimates at best. Have you noticed that eggs aren't always the same size? Same with bread slices. If you're not losing weight, you're eating more calories than you think, especially at your height. It's not about not going to the gym or anything, you must weigh your food since weight loss is all about eating less calories than your body needs to maintain its current weight. Exercise isn't really for weight loss. I've lost weight without much exercise. You should be eating at least 1200 and losing .5-1lb per week.

You have lost a little over .5 per week. For you, that is actually a good rate considering that you don't have that much to lose...

Definitely, weighing food is not a prerequisite for losing weight, millions of people lose weight just fine without weighing a single morsel.
However, if someone is stalling or gaining then incorrect food logging would be the first place I'd look..

This. Guessing calorie estimates isn't accurate.

But if packaged foods are allowed to be 20% off, then doesn't that go for foods that measure in grams? It's still a label. I lost 60 pounds by calorie counting and not measuring a few years ago so I don't think calorie counting is an issue I was just wondering if I may have hit a wall or something

You haven't hit a wall. You, by your own statement, are losing weight. You are simply not losing at the rate you want.
You are within a healthy weight range and the most you can realistically expect to lose is .5lb a week.

On top of that, there is a good chance you are underestimating you calorie intake.

Not a wall.

I'm tracking them properly. I don't eat a wide variety of food. Ex. Greek yogurt 80 calories, tofu packet 300, oatmeal 100 ect. That's why I don't need to measure because there's nothing to measure. Maybe I should start going to the gym

Going to the gym will help, but you still won't know exactly how much you are eating. Like everyone has said, with so little to lose you really need to count your calories very accurately. If you do start working out you will need to eat a little more to compensate for the extra burn. 1000-1100 calories will not properly fuel your body.
