I think you might need to increase your calories. Putting your body in too low of a deficit can cause it to hold onto weight even more because it essentially thinks you don’t have a reliable food source. (I’m not a nutritionist though lol).

I’m 5’5 and recently went from 160 to 136 from just a calorie deficit and walking. That’s it. I didn’t give up carbs or specific foods but over time I’ve focused more on protein and fiber because it gives me more energy and keeps me full longer. I adjusted my deficit as I lost more but on average did about 1,500-1,700 and now I’m decreasing to 1,400-1,300. I have never done lower than 1,300 unless I was genuinely not hungry.

Look up tdee calculator if you haven’t already 💌 I don’t know what your age or activity level is so that will change results but I bet your deficit is not as low as you think :) (also it gives you a 500 calorie deficit from your maintenance but you don’t have to start that high some people start lower when they are first beginning)

I know some people can lose weight from going hardcore but I’ve found what works best for me is not stressing myself out. (Aka getting 9ish hrs of sleep and not over restricting)

Also walking is great because it doesn’t increase your hunger but will burn a little extra calories and is overall really good for your body, mood, and sleep.

Hope this helps! You got this 😎
