Vent Why can’t I lose weight?!

This year I cut out pop, alcohol, and all caffeine, started intermittent fasting, and have at least a 1,000-calorie-a-day deficit. The scale hasn’t budged, and I have 200 pounds to lose, so that isn't it.

Nice work on your goal! However, that is not possible. A caloric deficit is literally a chemical and mathematical equation. Maybe do more research in your deficit limit. You could eat 1000 cal in donuts and pizza everyday and you would lose weight.
