Is my TDEE accurate?

I lift 5x a week 5 sets 10 reps each with progressive overload, i do another 30mins of cardio 5 days a week after i lift. According to https://tdeecalculator.net my TDEE is 2306 calories a day, with a cutting deficit of 1806 calories a day well i have been doing this for 5 weeks now and i’ve seen the scale move maybe 2-3lbs but this fluctuates i can see small changes in my body i can see some definition in my arms and glutes and hips and i am definitely getting stronger but the scale isn’t moving which is a problem because i am only 5’0 at 145lbs and this *kitten* is hard on my knees 😭 what am i doing wrong here?

Also i know my BF% which is 31% i know it’s a freaking lot which is why i am cutting and trying to get some of that fat off of my body so i figured my TDEE would be quite accurate.0
