Not losing, frustrated.

I’ve been losing and gaining the same 6 lbs for a month. I’m overweight enough this should not be happening. I use CICO and light exercise and track very carefully. I’m 5’8” and 250-256 for 5 weeks, I stay in a calorie deficit between 1600-2100 depending on the day. But am mostly consistent between 1700-1850 on days where I’m not working out. Even with less weight loss, I do take my measurements once a month, and lost a few inches.

I have had a lot of stress and med changes, including a new birth control implant placed. I know logically, it’s probably that. It’s just very, very frustrating. I feel defeated. Any insight or words of wisdom appreciated.

I’ve tried drinking more water, less water, increased potassium, I also take magnesium and glucosamine.

I’ve tried drinking more water, less water, increased potassium, I also take magnesium and glucosamine. Any ideas on how to break this cycle?

I think I need to eat more protein, too, but we are on a very lean budget. We don’t typically buy meat, but we buy eggs, tofu, tuna. Any other ideas? I’ll also have things like low sugar yogurt or skin mozzarella cheese sticks.
