Weight loss while breastfeeding, what's the best approach?

Wondering whether anyone has an answer for me regarding calories burned during breastfeeding? To lose weight does CICO apply, or do hormones play a role? Or both, and how so? I don't know how much milk i am producing, but probably a fair bit. I am exclusively breastfeeding a 2month old (about 15 short feeds in a 24hr period) and breastfeeding a toddler four times a day, for 5-20 mins each feed. But I am really having trouble shifting weight postpartum. Does this indicate that I am eating too many calories (even though i don't feel like i'm eating much) or is my body "holding onto fat" as i've heard some mums say? what's the go, and how do i lose weight?
