You're eating too much

Your body requires a calorie deficit to lose weight, which means you must burn more calories than you take in. Having said that, you don't have to starve yourself. Eat only when you are hungry.

Doing too much cardio

Cardio is a crucial component of your fitness routine. It improves your metabolism but it massively enhances your appetite, rendering you more prone to overeating or mindless nibbling. So don't over do it.

Not eating whole foods

Both quantity and quality of food are equally important. Eating complete foods can assist in controlling your hunger. Compared to their highly processed equivalents, these foods are marketed as healthy foods and aren't actually healthy.

Not eating protein

Protein is a crucial food for weight loss. According to studies, people who eat a high-protein breakfast feel fuller longer and experience fewer cravings later in the day.

Not exercising properly

Weight training assists you in preserving your muscle mass, which, if you aren't exercising, is frequently burned together with body fat.

Not counting calories

This may be confusing but yes, you can hinder your weight loss by consuming too many healthy foods. Even when you're eating healthily, the basic principle of fewer calories in, more calories out still holds true.
