Odds are you are consuming more than 2000 kcal/day. Most people underestimate. Have you tried weighing and recording everything you consume for a couple weeks?

Anyone who wants to lose weight should start with a resting metabolic rate test in order to establish a baseline. You just sit in a chair for a few minutes while a machine measures your inhaled and exhaled gasses to calculate energy expenditure. If you consume fewer calories than your RMR then it is impossible to not lose weight.

This is a confusing response. I do not want to lose weight. I had to pay more attention so I could stop losing weight. Your advice might be good for someone with a different problem, but (1) I don’t have that problem and (2) I addressed the problem I did have by eating more.
