I'm trying to tone up/slim down but dont mind if, in the process of building muscle, my weight remains around its current level. So I thought it best to eat a deficit, do cardio and strength training. But I'm seeing very little difference in my measurements or weight.

Cheers, I'll keep trying my best then and make an extensive online recipe book.

I am happy with my weight, but am confused as to why I am not losing despite having a deficit. Perhaps I should rephrase and wonder if anyone can give me advice about whether I could up my calorie intake and not put on weight cause currently it seems like around 1250 is my maintaining weight calorie intake...

Yes I do log lots of recipes like that, but when I next use the recipe I might adjust it... different ratios, different protein etc - hence it creates inaccuracies or takes ages. Plus I mainly use MFP on my phone. :/

I do measure the majority of my food whenever it is feasible (i.e. I'm not out of the house) and if I'm out then I try to estimate it from the packet. My inaccurate records issue is more around recipes, as I cook a lot from scratch but cannot write a recipe for everything I eat. :(
