It definitely sounds like it. To lose weight you must be in a calorie deficit, meaning you burn more calories than you eat. We don't know how many calories you burn in a day, but it sounds like you should be in a calorie deficit.
I'm going to recommend the lifesum app. It allows you to track your calorie intake and what you burn off. You can scan barcodes or type in the food you've eaten and it will tell you how many calories it is. It's a nice little tracker that I've used in the past so it might help

Eggs are not healthy. Feta cheese has too much fat and salt. Cereal bars are junky food. Too much sugar. Chicken is one of the more unhealthy things you can eat. The wrap, is it a store bought one, with a sugary, greasy sauce in it? Shop bought mousse is junk food.
Some junky type food is OK, but in the long term, too much junk food is too likely to have serious consequence to your health.
The beans are good. Great source of roughage. Cucumber, avocado, tomato are good too.
Where's the fresh fruit? Blackberries are in season and are free from nearby bramble patches now. Berries are the healthiest fruit. But all fruit is good.
No nuts? Apart from possibly some in the cereal bar?
Eat more herbs and spices. Aim to add superfoods like broccoli sprouts and amla.
More variety of vegetables and green leafy stuff.
Add some whole grains, such as barley, rye, oats. Try to reduce refined grains, eg whole grain, non-American rice instead of refined white rice.
Aim to stuff yourself with unprocessed plant based foods. Read How Not To Diet (your local library should have a copy) for more info.
Counting calories is a bit of nonsense. Who has the time to assess how many calories are in everything they eat and drink? And on top of that, with foods like whole nuts, most the calories get flushed down the toilet.
If you're eating loads and loads of unprocessed plant foods, you'll be eating a low calorie density diet. You'll feel satisfied and full up. You'll be getting all the nutrients you need. As well as lots of anti-oxidants. And the weight will take care of itself with it coming down over time and staying down.

Eggs and chicken are unhealthy? Okay. This person did not ask to be convinced to go vegan. I’m more concerned that an 100 calorie cereal bar is being counted as a meal.
Anyway, I’d recommend using a calorie counter for homemade foods and looking at the calories on storebought foods to ensure you’re getting at least 1,200 a day (but probably closer to 1,500 with exercise) and that you have a calorie deficit. Then, eat small but regular meals like you’ve been doing. Legumes will help you feel full when eating less. Also, don’t be afraid of nuts as a snack. They’re a healthy source of fat, fibre and protein.

I'm not sure I've ever read a diet/food related post with quite so many errors of fact in it. You even did the 'magic food' thing with the broccoli and 'amla' stuff...

Please have a look at the Eatwell Guide if you want to see what a healthy, balanced diet looks like. Or google information from the BDA.

Let's have a look at a few highlights from the Eatwell guide:
Most of us still are not eating enough fruit and vegetables.
I said eat more fruit and veggies.
Starchy food should make up just over a third of the food we eat. Choose higher fibre wholegrain varieties, such as wholewheat pasta and brown rice,
I said that wholegrains are better than refined grains.
Milk, cheese, yoghurt and fromage frais are good sources of protein and some vitamins, and they're also an important source of calcium, which helps keep our bones healthy.
This study, published in the British Medical Journal indicated that drinking more milk was associated with higher rates of bone fractures and mortality.
https://www.bmj.com/content/349/bmj.g6015
This scientific research contradicts that section of the Eatwell guide.
Pulses, such as beans, peas and lentils, are good alternatives to meat because they're lower in fat and higher in fibre and protein, too.
Supports what I said in my previous post.
Aim for at least 2 portions of fish every week, 1 of which should be oily, such as salmon or mackerel.
A high proportion of salmon sold in the UK is farmed. It would be fair comment to call farmed salmon the most toxic food in the world.
Eat foods high in fat, salt and sugar less often and in small amounts. These foods include chocolate, cakes, biscuits, sugary soft drinks, butter, ghee and ice cream. They're not needed in our diet, so should be eaten less often and in smaller amounts
Supports what I said in my previous post.
The Eatwell guide largely agrees with what I said in my previous post. In the 2 areas where I disagree with the Eatwell guide, I'm confident that there's sound scientific research to back-up my point of view. I will leave it to anyone reading this to make up their minds on the more controversial areas of nutrition advice.
As for amla, can you name any other food that has a higher density of anti-oxidants per gramme?
For broccoli sprouts, can you name any other food that's a better source of sulforaphane?

Your post is full of myth, anecdote and pseudoscience harvested from Youtube videos and random blogs. Anyone with even a passing knowledge of diet and nutrition could see that the following pieces of your 'advice' have no basis in science:
Eggs are not healthy
Chicken is one of the more unhealthy things you can eat
'non-American' rice
Berries are the healthiest fruit
Aim to add superfoods like broccoli sprouts and amla
Counting calories is a bit of a nonsense
and the prize for possibly the most scientifically illiterate thing I have read on TSR this year:
'...with foods like whole nuts, most of the calories get flushed down the toilet'.
Note - the criticism is of the substance of the post, not the person making it.

It's more a case of "is this enough food for me to get my daily calories and nutritional requirements"?
You need to calculate your TDEE for weight loss and have healthy, balanced meals, not suddenly eat a small amount of food each day thinking that will help you.
Remember, you burn off calories just by living each day, and more when you exercise.

For the entire day. You’re probably not eating enough,,, your body will go into starvation and hold on to everything it has! You’ll end up with no energy and run into the sand! Eat lean proteins, plenty of veggies, maybe a couple of pieces of fruit and 1-2 small portions of whole grain carbs, even a small portion of olive oil and a bit of dairy each day does you good! A couple of portions of oily fish each week too. Snack on a small handful of nuts or some air popped corn, veggie sticks and hummus, a small yoghurt…rather than processed commercial snacks. Think Mediterranean and you can’t go far wrong.
