Feeling discouraged and seeking advice

For context I am 5’ 3” female, 32, CW: 182 GW:130ish. My 500 calorie tdee deficit = 1300. I have been weighing and tracking in MFP for a month. I have my Apple Watch and MFP connected so it does add some calories from exercise back in. I have not lost a single pound this whole month. Sitting at exactly 182.2 for 4 straight weeks no up or down. Does this mean 1300 is actually my maintenance? Can that even be possible? I have an active job on my feet, average 12K steps/day, go to barre classes regularly and get 45-120 mins of exercise a day except for Sunday… on that note I try to track on weekends still but I’m not as diligent and will have a few alcoholic drinks but if I know I go over 1300 I cut back a few days that week… I feel famished on 1300 cals when I exercise and work. I get around 100g of protein a day. It’s discouraging because most people lose weight quickly in the beginning and the scale isn’t budging for me! Should I not factor in exercise and stick to 1300 cals when I’m exercising? What would you do? Open to any advice or encouragement. This is not easy!

Returning to fitness after back injuries — can barre or Pilates really help me get strong again?
