I drink a lot of water.

Food I eat 1200 calories. Though I don’t really know how much calories the food has, just gauge and try not to eat too much. Avoiding sugar.

Sleep just 5 - 6 hours a day. Stress just sometimes, during work hours. I do meditate every day.

Should be losing weight if at 1,200 kcal intake. An issue here is that you do not really know because not tracking. Suspect you're eating more than what you think.

Either start tracking, or just go by intuition but eat more green salads and seeds and you should see progress.

Get the basics right, eat at least the recommended 30g fibre a day, and you might see how different your current diet is compared to this.

Already mentioned that I tracked with MyFitnessPal. Also, before all these corvid shits I did lose weight with these methods. Then got lazy. So now I’m starting back. 2 months in I haven’t seen any weight loss yet on the scale. Though I could see my arms and legs are starting to tone now.

Good luck, keep it up.

Some other tips you can consider is that 1,200 kcal might be too little. For example if your requirement from food is 2,000 kcal after accounting for exercise and daily activity, going 20% lower to 1,600 kcal might feel much better and more sustainable.

Also another tip, since you are using MFP, check what is your fibre consumption. It is very common for those starting to eat healthy, to notice that their current fibre consumption is far below the minimum 30g recommendation.

If you increase fibre in your diet, that is one possible easy way to avoid the task of counting calories so often. To try this, just add more vegetables, beans, grains, which are low in fat and high in fibre. If these are your priority, your consumption of other high calorie density foods will naturally reduce.
