What am I doing wrong? I'm not losing any more weight!?

I’m 47 years old male. 5ft 9in. Since November last year, I went from 230 pounds, down to 200 pounds.
I go to the gym, and do cardio exercises for 2+ hours a day, 6 days a week.
I wear a polar ft4 heart rate monitor, and burn on average 1320 calories a day at the gym.
I count my calories, and monitor them at a website. I NEVER consume more than 1500 calories of food or liquids a day.
Since about February 20th, I have been 200 pounds. I have stopped losing weight. How is this possible!?! I have a digital scale, and my weight varies by less than half a pound every day for the last 2 weeks.
As an experiment, yesterday I burned 1466 calories at the gym, in a 2 hour period. My total caloric intake yesterday was 1429 calories. And this morning, I weighed .4 ounces heavier than yesterday!
I know it is not the scale, because my clothes dont feel any looser. What is going on here?!
I eat lots of whole grains oatmeal, beans, eggs, and chicken breast. Admittedly I do not eat enough fresh vegetables, but they are really expensive right now.

    It’s probably because although you’re burning a lot of fat, your muscles are growing and getting heavier due to the amount of exercise, meaning your weight increases. This is nothing to worry about – it still means you’re fit and healthy Measurements such as a waist to hip ratio is more accurate when measuring weight loss, because just your weight alone does not indicate just how much fat there is on your body, because it also takes into account bones, water, and in your case muscle. Hope this helped :)

    Part of the problem is that the foods we are now eating have little to no nutritional value. In fact 85% of US soil has been depleted of vital nutrients. I go to the gym 3-4 times a week and I still was 35 lbs overweight. I started on the below plan and was able to lose 3 lbs the first day and about 3 lbs per week thereafter. If this is sufficient for you check it out. If you visit the source below you will be introduced to a weight loss plan and coach who will follow up with you on a regular basis. These people really care about your success and the company has been in business for over 30 years. When I started the program I was amazed that I lost my craving for sweets, especially chocolate. You will be introduced to protein shakes and multivitamins to keep your energy up for longer periods and avoid any temporary sugar highs.

    Just leave your contact information on the source page and you will receive a call and an email with a short video presentation. You then have the option to continue with the plan, Best of luck!
