I can't lose weight

How are you measuring your food and drink?
Where are you getting your calorie counts?
How long have you been tracking calories consistently every day?
What are your sex, age, height, and weight?

Are you actually eating those calorie levels or netting them after exercise calories are added in? Could you open your diary?

How big are you now? If that's you on the left in the picture you're already really skinny so it would take extreme dieting to get smaller as your caloric needs would be low even to maintain. Also, weight training? What's your muscle to fat ratio?

When you log iceberg are you just eating it plain, is it on a sandwich? Do you use spreads or dressings that you are not logging? Do you use oils or fats when you cook? What about other drinks, a beer or a Starbucks or something?

Had a quick look at your diary - there's some common mistakes in there if you want to be accurate.

A potato and butter, not weighed.
Using cups (volume) for measurement not grams or ounces (weight) - wonder if that half cup of granola is actually a lot more calories than you think?
The difference between getting a half cup of lettuce wrong isn't significant but high calorie density items like granola and chocolate pudding can really add up.
Slices of bread - probably reasonable.
Generic egg - probably reasonable.
One cut of cheesecake - open to large error.
Suspiciously round numbers for portions when weight is selected, estimation or actual weighing?

Think first step is to ditch the measuring cups and use a digital scale. At the moment I don't think your calorie data is accurate.

I agree but he states he is only eating 1200-1300 most days as well which is too low for a male(but he still should be losing if its really that low)

Even if I was 1660 calories a day working out three times a week for 30 minutes I should still be losing weight according to app

if you arent weighing everything on a scale,which more than likely means eating more than you think then 30 min a day may not make a dent in your weight loss.30 minutes of exercise may be not burning enough calories off making a deficit. you should also as a male be eating no less than 1500 calories(unless under the care/advice of a dr).entries in MFP are off quite often even when you scan the info can be wrong for that entry,which can be a pain in the butt. you need to cross reference labels with the info it gives you. if it doesnt have a label cross reference with the USDA site.

There's definitely hidden calories somewhere, be interested to see the OP's response.

Checked the granola it was about double very interesting so how do you know where to get real numbers from Real weight real amount from for food if you don't scan them

I put my cereal bowl on the scales, zero it and then add the granola to get the real weight in grams. Ditto the yoghurt.
Then choose the right entry from the database (including brand and variety) or check against the packaging.
Beware there are loads of awful user generated food entries in the database, chicken without protein, macros that don't add up to the calories, wrong portion sizes etc etc....
Bar codes aren't infallible either.

It's a bit onerous at first but with items you commonly use they appear in your recent food list for use next time.
I would say it's very educational and worth investing the time at least for a short period. Then decide what level of accuracy is sustainable longer term.
My idea of a regular "portion" of granola was actually double what the packaging suggested.

Last time I logged granola it was probably before a big cycle ride as this is a large amount even for me!
