Came back to find my old thread for the off chance that someone else is running into a problem jump-starting their journey. It definitely took a while to start seeing results on the scale, but I've been losing an average of 3 lbs per week (close to 1.5% body fat weight) with: * Intake: 2000ish calories per day.…

Definitely appreciate all of the comments, reinforced suggestions and ideas from folks!

Fair enough; I didn't directly specify, but I turned that feature off. MFP suggests 2100 calories, not accounting for any additional exercise, and I keep my calories between 1900 and 2100 per day, regardless of how much (or little on my rest day) I work out.
