Not losing much weight

Hello everybody! I am a 5'7 female and weigh 125 currently. I have been tracking for a month and keeping my net calories at or below 1300. I workout 3-4 times a week doing cardio and strength training. I am starting to get discouraged because I am not losing any weight and I feel hungry all the time.

    How much weight are you looking to lose? You are currently just 7 pounds away from being technically underweight for your height.

    Your title says "not losing much", but you say you are "not losing any". Which is it?

    Given your current stats, any healthy weight loss will be extremely slow.

    If there is one thing that I have learned, celebrate the little victories. Whether it’s a pound and a half or 10 pounds, it all counts!

    You aren't losing much weight and feel hungry all of the time because you don't really have weight to lose.

    Without a pic I’m guessing you have little muscle mass and are carrying some fat covering what muscle you DO have.

    Think about lessening the cardio, getting on a PROVEN weight training program and actually UPPING your calories and working on adding muscle.

    Yep, if your skinny fat, and wanting to look more toned and fit, this advise is the correct course of action.
