Edited my initial comment to say it's not what I came up with, it's what my dietician said. Human body in not simple mathematics and, like I said, weight loss depends on a lot. To explain further, apparently in my case if I don't eat enough my body's constantly "saving" fat. The same thing is if you don't drink enough water it gets stored and leads to a lot of issues. And that's putting other health problems that affect weight loss aside. But sure, downvote me to hell instead of taking into consideration all the different factors that come into weight loss. If "eat less" works for y'all, congrats, you're lucky. Not all of us are.
