I have lost 3kg over 4 months but I have stopped losing weight since about 1 month ago

I try to keep my diet at 1200kcal and jog for 1.5 -2h weekly.

Any idea what I can do to lose another 2kgs?

    Generally speaking, a change in routine can kick it. There are numerous articles discussing follow the body get can get used to and adapt to a routine.
    Something as a minor as changing the intensity intervals can be enough to break the plateau.

    Food scale. If you don't use one, I suspect you are overestimating the amount of calories you are truly eating. Humans suck at eyeballing portions. Check out this thread.

    agree with food scale to ensure you are eating 1200 calories (which is very low - that is the minimum recommended for a very sedentary short woman). Also depends on what you mean by "try". how often are you going over and by how much?

    how much more are you planning to loose?

    If you've been dieting on 1200 cals for 4 months I would suggest taking a diet break. 1 week at maintenance then back do dieting.
