Not amazing by some descriptions here but certainly a reduction on usual so lunch is typically salad (homemade, pretty large but just leaves, tomatoes, cucumber, beetroot, spring onion, pepper plus a small amount of smoked mackerel, zero dressing) or soup (again homemade, just vegetables and water). Evening meal just either grilled chicken or fish plus vegetables (quite a few) plus one small can of beer (know I can/should cut that out but a significant step back from the usual). Snack has tended to be a few raspberries and some low fat vanilla yoghurt.
Exercise wise, work has got a bit in the way but have had a daily 45-60 minute off-road walk and made sure I dressed a bit less than felt comfortable on the premise (likely flawed) that I’d use more energy keeping myself warm.
I think I’d have been a bit discouraged to maintain weight but would have accepted that early days and made the next step (eg no beer). But less meaning more?
TL;Dr I need to be more patient and make bigger changes (plus more exercise!!!)

With what you’re eating, you will almost certainly lose weight eventually.
What are you drinking? I’d make sure to drink at least an extra litre or two of water a day.
If you’re suddenly increasing the amount of fibre, you could be holding it all in your gut.Wouldn’t be at all surprised to hear that you’re 4kg lighter next week.
When my wife is on a diet, she will often be the same weight or higher for the first 2 weeks (which she accepts is demoralising) but then has a big drop third week and then more consistent thereafter.
