It says you are 22lbs overweight, but that also is not exact due to muscle. It could be less.

Your bmr is 1870.78. This is what you burn just to be alive every day with breathing.

Your Harris Benedict Equation with estimating you at "moderate" has you at 2899.71.

This is the amount of calories you burn normally with every day life.

3500 calories = 1lb.

You need to have a 3500 calorie deficit to lose a lb. If you have a 3500 calorie surplus, you gain a pound.

You are estimating 3-5k calories a day.

Meaning you need to be burning probably 3.5-5.5k calories a day accordingly to be losing a lb a week. Or you need to cut your calorie intake lower.

Hope that helps.

38 lbs/1.5 years * 3500 Cal/lb /365 days/year is approximately 250 extra calories a day.

2900 Cal TDEE + 250 Cal extra = 3150 Cal/ day or just about what you think you have been eating. Nothing is wrong with your metabolism. You are eating too much.
