Sorry I actually JUST read that at the top lol. You are massively undereating. If you just started, you won't feel it right away. I'll give you a comparison:

At 190 (6'2"), and just getting back into my cutting cycle, I eat between 2200 and 2500 calories a day, and still lose about a pound each week. I do exercise a little more often than you described, so I would likely eat a little more than you.

From someone that once undercut his calories like you have, my advice to you is to bring your daily intake up. You'll end up losing more than just bodyfat, and you're going to regret it later

As a general rule, I would target about 10 calories per pound every day (so 1900 for you), at least for the first two or three weeks to see how your body reacts. You can adjust from there. It's good that you're not feeling hungry, but that's not the only thing that matters
