Really need some advice...36" waist and 45" hips male.

I don't understand why my body is like this but it's been like this for years now and I've been exercising but not seeing a difference. A pear shaped body on a male is really rare from what I've heard and I just can't shift the weight. Here are some stats:

Height - 5'6"
Weight - 91kg/200 pounds
BMR - 2007.4
Apparently what my daily caloric intake should be to stay at the same weight (maintenance) - 2759.625 (multiplying 2007 by 1.375 for lightly active)
BMI - 32.3
Body Fat Percentage - 19.3% (Waist 36", Hips 45", Wrist 7", Forearm 10")

I've been going to the gym 4-5 times a week for ages. I usually do 10-15 minutes on the treadmill, followed by 20-30 minutes of weights/machines, and ending with 15-20 minutes on the treadmill or 10 minutes on the exercise bike.

I'm always well below my maintenance intake (frankly I think it's wrong, I never eat that much unless it's a one off day like pizza or something which would only happen once every couple of months, yet I don't lose any weight at all on all the other days). I think it's the carbs and trashy food that have got me to this weight, but I've cut stuff like that out for ages now and still not seeing results.

I'm eating at like 1200 calories, and I genuinely can't imagine eating more than that and staying healthy, especially anywhere near 2200 calories everyday (safe deficit apparently, Maintenance-500). It just seems like too much food for my stomach. I think I must have metabolic damage or something from not eating enough this past year, and my weight loss has almost come to a standstill.

Also is it just me or should be Body Fat Percentage be a lot higher? From what I've heard 19% isn't that high for someone of my weight.

I also don't understand the point of eating more calories the more you exercise, it just doesn't make any sense to me. Lets say 2200 calories gives me a 500 calorie deficit, and I burn 200 calories in the gym, giving me a now 700 calorie deficit, from what I've seen it is advised that I eat those calories back, but what is the point of doing exercise then if you're just going to eat back the calories you burn?

Currently I've been trying intermittent fasting along with atkins diet but it's not working for me. Any advice would be appreciated.

yeah eating that low could have messed your body. it seems likely

get eating to 2200 calories, it's a marathon, not a sprint

good luck

try drinking calories

e.g. weight gainers

If it gets to the point where I feel sick and that my stomach feels incredibly full, and this happens at say around 1500 calories, what should I do then? Carry on eating to 2200?

try this
700cals in one serving

it would make up the deficit

Alright I'll take a look at it. Can you answer any of my other questions, like the one about eating back calories your burn during exercise or the one about my body fat percentage?

Go see a doc.
