    From what it sounds like your doing pretty much everything right. Try to focus on body composition rather than a number on the scale. It's all about how you look rather than what you weigh. Maybe try to increase the weight training and go a little heavier to build muscle... The more muscle you have the more calories your body will burn.
    For example you could have a girl who's toned with gd muscle definition weighing the same as a girl who has little to no definition and looks overweight.

    I do use a digital scale and weigh out my portions. I exercise 5 days/week at the gym doing a combo of cardio + weight lifting. The calorie goal I have it set to on MFP isn't really accurate since I'm following the nutritionist's meal plan, I just use it as a guide. I have a feeling I'm consuming too many calories, although before I was eating a lot less calories without results then either. I figured if anyone could help me it would be a nutritionist...

    I've been reading some great articles on here about calculating TDEE and setting the right calorie deficits but a lot of it seems confusing and, frankly, a little overwhelming!

    You said you are going with a nutritionist (not a dietician)? Unfortunately, I'm pretty sure that nutritionist is not a regulated term and pretty much anyone can claim it, regardless of the training they've had. I would just double check their advice to make sure that it's in line with the latest medical & science recommendations. Or when in doubt, got see a Dietician. :)
