Why do you want to lose weight, you are at the lower end of the weight range for your height? Your basal metabolic rate (the number of calories used just through living)at the age of 20 is around 1300 and you say you 'burn off' 1000 a day (total 2300 calories burned) and you only eat 1400. Therefore you should be losing weight. HOWEVER your body mass index is 20.6 which is to the lower end of the normal range (20-25)so you don't have much weight to lose. If you have been eating 1400 calories a day or less for a while this will have reduced you basal metabolic rate. Also, how is it possible you are 'burning off' 1000 calories, do you do 3 hours of high impact aerobics a day? One of your calorie estimations is wrong.
