haven't lost any weight in a month and a half

I started working out 6 days a week and eating healthier about a month and a half ago. About two or three weeks ago I stopped working out so often (I only cut it down to 5 days a week) and I started trying to eat only clean foods and I also cut out gluten and cut my calories to around 1400 a day. I have not lost A SINGLE POUND and I'm so frustrated! I can see that I've gained muscle and I'm getting stronger, but I'm not losing any fat and it's really getting me down. My workout routine is weight training for 30 minutes and then I alternate days between HIIT for 25-30 minutes and steady cardio for 30 minutes. I just don't understand and I'm wondering if anyone has any advice for me. Anything would be greatly appreciated!

Gained weight but haven't changed size? :/

I've been working on losing some extra lbs for what feels like an eternity. I'm 5'2, moderately active, and typically around 122lb. I've been sticking to ~1200 calories for months trying to get back to 116 where I was last summer, but it seems no matter how long I stick to it I don't lose anything. I haven't gone up any dress sizes though?

It drives me nuts because all my measurements are the same, but I haven't been strength training or really eating back calories from my cardio so I don't see how I could have built muscle. I just assume I'm underestimating because of the lack of weight loss and continue to cut lower. It's so aggravating. But today I put on a pair of shorts that fit me tightly at 116 and they still fit, pretty much the same, now at 130. Wtf?? How could I gain so much weight on so little without getting wider? Is it water retention?

Should I be worried about this? I asked my doctor but he said it was just hormones (I'm 21) and not to worry. But it's frustrating and makes no sense.

Anyone have similar experiences? Advice?

I also drink soooo many liquids on a daily basis. Kombucha, multiple teas, water, many diet sodas, almond milk, broth...I'm constantly so full of liquids. Could this be a cause?
