Ok stepping aside from the whole .. you should add more calories thing ... I just added up what you said you're eating and I think your calorie counts on individual items are waaaaayy off, although your total seems to be close.

About 170 cals for breakfast - 1/2 bagel. 2 eggs. 1/2 muffin.
1 egg is 70 cals. (I know this because it's my pre-workout snack most days). If you're eating 2 eggs, that's 140 cals, plus 1/2 even a small bagel will be another 60 cals (if it's a plain, unflavored, unbuttered bagel and it's SMALL), plus 1/2 a muffin - is this a sweet muffin like a blueberry muffin, or are you talking english muffin? Either way, that's another 60 cals minimum (a plain english muffin w/out butter or jam is 120 cals, so 1/2 of that would be 60). So your breakfast appears to me to be somewhere between 250-320 cals - it could be higher depending on the type/size of muffing and bagel we're talking about.

Lunch is almost always Tuna wrap or turkey wrap. (with mayo but when I was trying to cut back I cut that out)
If you make a turkey wrap yourself with some kind of tortilla or wrap bread, turkey, and mayo, that's a minimum of 250 cals (the mayo alone will be 100 cals)

Dinner usually 2 to 3 oz salmon and a bag of veggies (brussle sprouts / califlower). Total eaten calories about 800 to 1200 per day.
I love salmon, but it's the most calorie rich of fish because it's so full of oils. 3 oz of salmon is around 240 calories. A bag of veggies - depending on how much you eat - 1 serving is around 70 cals, so the whole bag would probably be 3x that, or 210 cals. That would bring dinner to a total of 450 cals.
That's assuming that you don't drink anything but water, so there are no beverage calories, and you don't eat anything else ever to snack on and that your measurements are 100% accurate and you're measuring everything that you eat exactly.
Now all of that adds up to under 1000 calories. So if this is EXACTLY what you're eating, then it's waaaaay too little. You cannot lose weight on that few calories. And if you have beeneating that way for a long time, then you've trained your body to deal with being in near starvation mode, so if you raise calories even a little, it's gonig to gain back. You're going to have to retrain your body to lose and then maintain on a healthy amount of calories.
BUT. Here's the other thing - given that you way under estimated the calories in your breakfast, I'm seriously wondering if you might be underestimating all of your calories by a lot. It's possible that you're taking in a lot mroe than you think you are.
I dunno ... it's still hard ot know for sure. But I do think that the way you're eating right now has the potential to be unhealthy if that really is all you're eating ever.
