Not so new here, but struggling too.
Unfortunately, never having had children, I really have no idea of what one "should do" and "should expect" in your situation, nor of how long the body takes to adjust back to its pre-pregnancy state. Have you talked of this with a physician perhaps? Or is it that 2100 calories/day is a little too much? (I don't know your current weight, that is; in my case, though, I know that 2100 would no doubt be too much, so I can only compare with that. :|) Or... could it be some of this dang awful water that the body retains precisely when we want it the least?
In any case, watching the food intake (quantity/quality) and walking 30 mins a day are a pretty good start in my opinion, and can only wield good results. Maybe it's just too early to tell, sort of? (Given the recent childbirth, I mean.)
