Are you tracking what you eat in Fitbit or in another program? We often tend to underestimate what we are eating, and everything counts except lettuce. I thought I was eating pretty well, and I tracked calories off and on. Being vegetarian it's hard for my family to eat most fast food. When I looked at my records in MFP I was way over doing the carbohydrates and fat, and not getting nearly enough vegetables or protein.
Do you take you measurements or bodyfat percentage with your trainer? Have you noticed any change in the way your clothes fit? Do you feel more fit? Is there a chance you could be overtraining and losing muscle/lean, that will ultimately make you gain weight. Usually, unless there is another issue at play, weight loss is just a mathematical calculation, calories in vs calories out.
So failing all the above, I'd say take your Fitbit records, fitness diary and food diary into your doctor and also a nutritionist. There might be a medical reason you aren't dropping weight. I am hypothyroid and I thought it was going to be a nightmare to lose this weight, especially because my crazy new Dr. just decreased my meds by 3/4 a few months ago, and I'm terrible for forgetting to take them anyways.
For the last 6-weeks I've been easing into a mostly plant-based, whole food lifestyle and really cleaned things up (no booze, no potato chips!, lower carbs, no white refined anything, no night eating, 1200-1400 cals a day, 2-3 hrs in the gym cardio'ing daily) and I've dropped 24 lbs. I don't even crave my old 'junk' foods anymore. I just bought a juicer to make green juices. I feel so much better than I did when I was stuffing myself with pasta/bagels/processed foods even though I was within my 'calorie limit' I felt tired and foggy. Maybe look at the quality of your nutrition, more greens/vegetables fills you up while providing a zillion nutrients.
