Not losing weight. Why?

I am 5ft 4 and approx 13 stone. I have usually lost weight by the classic less in, exercise more. I have been really strictly watching what I eat for over a month and haven't lost anything. I recently had a food sensitivities test as a result of constant irritable bowel type symptoms and as a result , for the last 2 weeks have been really strict at giving up wheat, all dairy and pork products. I have been eating fruit with alpro soy and granola for breakfast, chicken salad for lunch and various things for tea but relatively low calorie things. I do have snacks but very rarely go over the calorie level set on my fitness pal. I have been weighing all the foods and logging them so what is going on? Is it that my body is freaking out with the changes I have made?! I can share screen shots of my entries if anyone thinks that will help

Make sure your calorie change isn't too drastic. Going from 2,000 to 1,400 overnight can screw up your body. Gradual small changes for a few days/couple of weeks

How many calories are you eating?

I am weighing everything and I am active but only day to day activity rather than classes. I recently had ankle surgery so can't run or do too much exercise.

Are you weighing everything?

I think it's extremely unlikely/borderline impossible to not be losing weight in a calorie deficit! Are you active?
