I'm on a drug called quitiapine which slows metabolism and has proven to make previously skinny people retain belly fat. Also where i restricted my diet to between 1000-1500 cals a day for 2 years and had frequent binges as a result, I now have messed up my metabolism further as well as caused myself gut ulcers and IBS! If there's is a chance either of this things could be responsible speak to your doctor and most of all- DO NOT give up

But as weird_me2 mentioned, perhaps I am not actually burning as many calories as all my calculations make me think I am.

How are you determining that burn? Are you weighing solid foods and measuring liquids?

I have a standing desk, I take walks at work, I swim (a mile at least, or an hour, whichever comes first), weight-lift, and do bouts of intense cardio on elliptical/bike/rowing machine. I am exercising at least 5 hours per week. Is that not enough? I'm determining calories burned from the calculations used with Fitbit Surge HR. I also hike on weekends which (according to my fitbit) burns a bunch of calories.

How often do you eat out, even if it's on plan? It's tempting to look for factors that are out of our control to blame when we have problems, but it's often not the case.

If you aren't losing and you aren't weighing, the easiest way to start losing would be to weigh. You are probably consuming 50-100% more calories than you think. If you really don't want to weigh you can also start reducing your calorie goal (you are unlikely to be getting too low, since we can gather than you are underestimating). Good luck!
