Not reaching gym goals

Hey. Im 18F and I’ve now been going to the gym for a month. I go 4 days a week and I have a comprehensive routine each day i go, followed by 25-30 mins on the treadmill. I think i’m 5’8 and I cant break 175-178 pounds. My goal is to be 145.

No matter what im doing there I just cant lose weight, and i’m getting discouraged because I’ve done my research and my forms good, im doing great cardio, and I always show up.

I dont lift excessively heavy and i do high reps lowish weights so i dont gain too much muscle or whatever. I dont eat junk food really because it upsets my stomach (soda, candy, etc) and i’ve been trying to eat lunch now that i go to the gym.. i dont understand what im doing wrong. I suspect its my diet but im not eating greasy food or slop! Maybe it’s me not getting enough protein, but im not sure how to fix that since I dont do the cooking in my house.

The only time I had lost actual weight was when i had compulsive exercise disorder but I dont have the energy to repeat that again, as i’d eat basically nothing 🥲

Can I have some advice? (No youre just a kid bs pls i need to lose this weight)
