Need to be here

Well in short I'm at two year mark had a mental breakdown was hospitalized for fourteen days turned fourty and was off work (which is very physically demanding)all this happened and bam two weeks out of hospital had a 8 lb gain then next week 2lb gain then now I'm 16lbs over personal goal have been attempting to lose and can't get scale to move it is now winter my bike riding done but did join a gym and as far as carbs go i didn't let daily ones enter at all so I'm here and asking for encouragement. I am currently keeping a journal on my fit pal and determining to stay at no more then 1200 cal I don't have a problem with protein yesterday tracked over 100  water is low gonna shoot to work on that and no less then 25 min cardio or other work out until machine says 400cal burned. I have been stabbing at this thing for almost two months yesterday decided to give myself another 16 weeks to lose. Is this plan gonna work because I really need to see something good happen. I feel if it doesn't and I'm compliant at least 90 percent of the time I'm gonna slip over the edge. I'm determined to over come this. But have to say am skeptical. I weigh 166 am 5'5 my goal weight is 150 now after this may be if I can get scale to move again will change to 140 not sure this entire journey I never tracked cal only ate protein first so maybe would be a idea.
