You need to be eating way more than you are. Sometimes if your body doesn't get the nutrients it needs, you will have a hard time losing weight as well..and if your metabolism is slow, it also will burn off the fat slow.

I'd aim for at least 1500 cals/day to start with. Usually if you are working out intensely 5-6 days a week your body will need way more than 1500. I noticed in your diet you don't eat much protein. Protein builds muscle. The more muscle that is on your body, the more fat loss as well. Muscle works to burn fat the same as your metabolism does. I usually eat between 160-190g a day of protein...turkey, chicken, tuna, cottage cheese, fish, protein powder...you should also include some fruit and healthy whole grains into your diet.
