None of the tests are accurate. Don't worry so much about what the tests say. You can count calories to figure out how many you're burning. For example, if you eat 1500 per day and neither gain nor lose, then that's how many you're burning.

He recommended that I eat no less than 1200 cals but believe me... I have done that and not lost. And to be sure that I wasn't cheating I ate only prepackaged meals.

The prepackaged meals might be the problem. Many prepackaged meals are unhealthy. What kind of food is it? Are you eating a balanced diet? Always check the ingredients before you buy food.
What you eat is more important than how much you eat. Eating junk food can slow down your metabolism, which means you'll have to cut more calories to lose weight. Eat lots of vegetables. Eat enough protein and healthy fats. Avoid sweets, refined carbs, and deep fried foods.
Strength training can speed up your metabolism, so you'll be able to eat more and still lose weight.
