I am 5' 5 ", 138lbs. Goal weight is 125. For the past 6 weeks I have cut to 1600 calories/day and started working out 5x/wk. I have only lost 2 lbs but have gained muscle. I am also still nursing. Suggestions on how to safely boost weight loss?

How much does sleep affect weight loss? Past 2 weeks I've cut way back on calories, especially carbs & scale hasn't budged. Also never sleep well.
