I have been fat since my early 20s (21 yrs old if I remember correctly), back when I started taking anti-depressant pills.

I consume around 1300 kcal within every 24hrs and im a 120kg, 5"8, 27yr old male. I know I should be eating around 2000 kcal every day but I find that excessive, my stomach feels its getting smaller each day.

I also do stationary biking for 1hr a day and my smartwatch and online calculators say I burn around 800 kcal doing that. Does that mean Im only consuming 500 kcal per day? (1300-800) Also sometimes I go up to 5 days constipated, no stool at all... and my weight plateaus each 2 weeks, I notice i go up half a kilo and then go down a kilo.
So far since 23rd April 2020 I lost a bit over 15kg (I was 135.6kg).

But i fear weight plateaus like death..am I killing my metabolism ?
 
Hi, Branc & welcome to the forum. I'll leave the detailed maths to others in the forum who are better at it than I am. From my limited knowledge I would think that yes, you will be slowing your metabolism. I would have thought 1800-2000 cals a day would be a much better figure for you & that would still be a relatively quick weight loss. Are you eating many veggies?
The diary section of the forum is the most active & if you start a diary you will most likely get lots of support & advice. You'll find it at Weight Loss Diary
