Difficulty Losing Weight Postpartum

CDeR🌳
Hi ladies!
So, I am bfing my 9 month old (and supplementing with solid foods). My period only just came back this week, so I know my hormones are still out of whack. I've been unable to lose weight (healthy/portion controlled eating and regular exercise have done NOTHING, but I'm still at it). So, I was hoping for some other women's stories who may have been in a similar situation. 
If you had difficulty losing weight while bfing how long did it take you to start losing weight? What do you think made the difference when you did??
I would love to just hear your stories :).
