OP, I had a similar problem. For the first three-four weeks of weight lifting and cardio, I wasn't getting anywhere, despite a proper calorie deficit and following proper rules.
I found the problem was two main parts. A) Nutrition. I wasn't getting enough protein, especially right after my workouts. B) Overworking.
I switched to going to the gym twice a week, doing my core body workout then. (Chest, Back, Traps, Stomach, Lower Back, Obliques, Shoulders, Bi/Triceps) I also did proper HIIT sprinting/running 4 times a week. My workout looked like:
HIIT - Gym - HIIT - HIIT - Gym - HIIT - Rest day
After I made these changes, I started getting really quick results. I went from 132-128 in three weeks, and I haven't lost much muscle. I went from being able to do 1 pullup to being able to do 10 in the same time. So, just step back and re-examine what you are doing. And don't work out if your muscles are sore.
