For a month or more I have been doing my regular lifting schedule mon,tues,thur,fri plus about a 20-25min cardio afterward and then also about a 45-60min cardio on wed and sat. I haven't really been losing any weight from week to week and Im not sure if its because of my routine or not. So my question is, from a losing fat perspective, should i continue this routine or someone suggested not doing cardio on my lifting days. Im really lost here so I would appreciate any help people could give me.
Thanks

How are you keeping track of your macros? Seems you should be losing if you are truly only getting 1800-1900 calories.

yeah if you really are only eating 1900-1800cals you should definitely be losing weight. According to the cal calculator at freedieting.com your maintenance is like 2900 something calories at sedentary activity level...

well thats the thing it very hard to keep track because our dining hall has very little nutrition information on the foods they make. Is there a better website to keep track of it?

The stall in weight loss is definitely due to eating too many calories, try calorieking.com or fitday.com for calorie tracking.

Theres something that I want to add, I have been working out for a month and doing cardio as well, guess what the scale went up from 190 to 193, BUT my clothes are loose, pants starting to fall off, so maybe you are one of the lucky few who do gain muscle and lose fat at the same time, also high sodium foods cause water retention. Just wanted to add that because I was getting frustrated because the weight scale was not moving but my body is changing so I am like Eff the scale and go on how I look, if you need to, weight in every two weeks or so.
Bro, the scale can truley f**K with your mind, so keep what your doing in check and keep your diet in check, eat clean, you know what that is right? Well best of luck to you bro. Keep it up, dont give up.Eat Clean to Get Lean

Totally, my weight remains the same but my belt is at the last hole (again!) and tshirts fit better with a smaller smize
so I don't care about the scale anymore.
Keep in mind that 1kg of muscle takes way less volume than 1kg of fat.

Alright thanks everyone. So it doesn't effect anything by doing cardio after my lifting?

60 min cardio is way too much...I would never go over 30 mins give or take a couple minutes. You may want to look into Hiit
