6 foot, male - After 3 weeks and 9lbs lost, I've hit a floor. I was eating about 1500 Calories a day, where 1800 was probably the correct intake. The past couple days I've been trying to eat a bit more to hit 1800, but I stopped losing weight before then and haven't gained any (I really shouldn't gain at 1800).
What is happening? I'm way below what I need to be eating to lose weight. Exercising would only cause me to expend more calories, which would be the same as simply eating less, which is 100% a bad idea.
please respond

you'll probably move past your plateau if you keep going long enough

Why should it change if I don't change anything?

Because weight is constantly fluctuating you fucking retard, read the fucking sticky. Just because you coincidentally caught it at 180 a few times doesn't mean shit when you probably wake up, then take a shit and end up at 178 and after dinner and a bottle of water you weigh 183,
The alternative is maybe you just have a shit scale. Some shit scales remember your previous weight and just show you that again to appear more accurate.
You're burning actual fat now assuming your metabolism hasn't tanked. You can easily have 5-10 pounds of shit(food/whatever) being processed in you. So since you have ate less daily and shat all that pre-dieting diet food out you see a big drop. You got rid of the bloat, now is the slow but steady part of losing fat.

It's been drilled in enough times that it's purely calories in vs calories out.
