Why am I not losing weight?
For over 2 weeks now, I have been eating a restricted diet (1200-1350 calories) that consists of 5-7 healthy meals per day (no fast food, junk food, etc.) and working out (both aerobic and strength training) approx. 4 days/week.
Each week I burned approx. 2000 calories through my workouts and am eating 200-300 calories less than what it would require to maintain my weight (1500 calories) each day. The two combined should give me a weight loss of about 1lb/week, However, I have lost no weight at all according to the digital scale.
If I stick to this regiment will I start to see weight loss or am I missing a key element?

Typically, results are about 2-4 weeks in delay. Your body is adjusting right now. Keep up the good work, and you will surely see results. Also keep in mind that the closer you are to your genetically determined body weight, the harder it will be to lose.
Weight loss takes a lot of patience and self control. Try not weighing yourself. Sometimes the scale can be deceptive. Gage your progress by how your clothes fit and more importantly how you feel. It took me about a year to lose 30 pounds. Stick to it and you will see results.
Yep.
Stick to your current workout. Mathematics cant really predict exactly when youre gonna see exact results. It takes time to see results you want… alot of time.
Keep going yeah for you! you may be trading muscle(which weighs more than fat)for fat or have some water weight gain. Soon you will see number results- you feel better already, don’t ya!!!
Bear in mind that muscle weighs more than fat. As you exercise, you are building muscle and burning fat, and the better developed muscle will cause your body to burn fat even more efficiently. The weight loss *will* catch up. Stick with your plan; you are definitely on the right track! I wish you health and fitness!
you cant know exactly how much calorie you are taking.
it might fluctuate a little.
be patient and consult a professional
You are forgetting that muscle weighs more than fat. If you are building muscle to replace the fat you are burning off you can become leaner and still weigh the same or maybe a little more. You should go by how your clothes fit and how you look in the mirror. Don’t forget to drink enough water to stay hydrated (ounces equal to half of your bodyweight)
You mentioned a "Retsricted Diet" The word Restricted raises a red falg and may be restricitng your bodies calories needs. If your body is restricted from its minimum needed calories it will sense famin and Hold onto fat to avoid starvation it will also slw down its metabolism and Burn less calories ( to consere energy it is being deprived)
As other have mentioned with increase of muscle weight your body weight weight will go up.
The goo dnews is your changing the composition of your body weight. Do Not focus on the scale as it is not an accurate way of determining your health. Use the way your clothes fit as a way to track your progress.
The scale will only discourage you.
Also keep in mind that as your muscle increases your calorie needs may increase.
If you are not eating enough to support the workouts you are doing your body will hold onto calories.
You need to calculate your Activity adjusted BMR
Basal Metobolic Rate and use that as a way of determine your calories. the number should be adjusted frequently as your weight or body composition or activity changes.
The Harris benedict Formula is the best way to determine calorie need.
Another thing How often are you changing your exercise regimine? If you dont adjust your workouts your body will adpat and as a result become more energy efficient in othe rowrds use less calories to do the same thing. Chnage your workouts gradually to stimulate and increase in energy expinditure. This avoids a platuea and keeps your body in a energy using mode.
If you do not adjust it or are you even working out at all with weights & cardio.
Stick to it…maybe even consume a few more calories each day to jump-start your metabolism…good luck!
