Another stone I want to lose .

You have been eating 1200 cals a day since January with no diet break? Your weight loss is becoming slower the leaner you get, the rate of loss should be at .5 a week, the refeed will allow you to move to maintenance for a short period of time then resume your deficit of 250 cals per day off maintenance.

eta: you can chose to wait this out, tighten up your logging and be careful handling of eating back your exercise calories, but from experience if you do the refeed the same amount of time you spend waiting you could do the refeed, give your body a break from low calories, reset hormones and shift you to a higher intake to create your deficit off of.

I'm in the same boat and doing everything right, try not to get discouraged, now I might be if another week goes by :-)

There is no such boat as "doing everything right, but not losing". Either you are not at a deficit (i.e. not actually doing everything right), or you have not given the proper process enough time.

The process always works over time. Always. It's our measurement and/or execution of the process that doesn't work.

There is if your a woman who has a monthly cycle, I have done this for five months and I'm down 38 lbs, its not my first time eating better and losing eight, I get CICO (My diary is open) I work out 1+hour everyday and I don't have cheat days, I weigh and measure everything, I was relating to her on the frustrated side of not losing.

Do not give up hope or get discouraged! You may have hit a weight loss plateau where your body is adjusting itself to your new weight. This is normal and will happen from time to time. You can sometimes shorten the length of the plateau by either changing up your exercise routine a bit or having a cheat meal. Kind of like hitting the reset button on your metabolism. Also, you may need to cut back a little on your caloric intake. Not sure exactly what you are consuming, but if you are going by MyFitnessPal's recommendation, there's a good chance you are overdoing it (because their estimates run a bit high). To lose weight, you need a calorie deficit.
