The standard answer that you can expect to get (which may very well work for you):
1. Change your calories. Possibilities:
- Up your calories for a while (yours are very low right now, particularly considering that you are exercising so much)
- Try calorie cycling (lower calorie days mixed with higher calorie days, averaging out to whatever your daily is right now - if you do this, I'd recommend averaging higher than 1200.)
- "Spike" your calories for ONE day. Have a REALLY high calorie day (well above maintenance - I didn't calculate yours, but for my stats I would consider this to be ~2500+ kcal). Then return to your normal eating.
2. Change your exercise. Possibilities:
- If you've been doing the same exercise routines for a while, switch them up. Do something else for a while - a different routine or a different activity altogether.
- Increase your exercise.
- Take a few days off for rest days.

What worked for me:
- Patience. I know it's not what you want to hear, but as long as you're genuinely in a calorie deficit, the scale will catch up to you sooner or later.

I hate to ask you this, but are you sure your calories are accurate? If they are, then you will get there...you could be holding on to water and gaining muscle. Are your clothes feeling any different? The scale is not a perfect measure of what's going on.
