Not losing at all ):
I'm not losing weight at all now and it's so infuriating! ]:<
I eat at least 1200 calories a day but try not to go over 1400.
I exercise either on the treadmill or the elliptical about 600 cal everyday and do some weight stuff at the gym.
I was 127 before the holidays hit and I still try to maintain my exercise routine. Now I'm about 130 and have not lost anything ever since I returned to my planned calorie intake about a week ago! It's so frustrating!!! What am I doing wrong?

and yes... you probably need to eat more to lose weight. i know it sounds really stupid, but it really does work, too!
You're short like I am. We have longer plateau periods than taller people ... and a plateau period of no weight loss can last as long as 4 or 5 weeks. Also, you don't have much weight to lose. I have the same problem. Just hang loose and stick to the plan and it will come off, but it'll come off very slow. That's just how it is for us. The worst thing you can do is eat less for the sake of showing a different number on the scale. Use the measuring tape instead. It never lies and really is all that matters, IMO. It's my SIZE that matters, not a digital read on a machine.
Also, you are exercising a lot and building muscle. Muscle weighs more than fat. Stop weighing yourself. Really!
