I’m sure others with a LOT more experience and knowledge will chime in soon but my first observation is it seems you are eating small amounts several times a day. Maybe try eating 2 or 3 BIG fat-filled meals instead. Bacon and eggs for breakfast, and big lunch, and a big dinner. At this early stage of the game, don’t count calories, just eat (fat) until you’re full and then don’t snack - just wait until you’re hungry, which should probably be about 4-6 hours later.
Also, you’re pretty early in the process… I didn’t see much weight loss until about the 3-week mark.
Stay with it, check your macros and food log… doesn’t look like enough fat to me.

Am I’m never hungry I could go all day with out eating or drinking,1 meal a day has always been good for me,and I can go all day with out nothing to drink but my coffee in tha morning,I have to make myself get a glass of water like I’ll stop an go when’s the last time I drank anything oh crud only the coffee an then go get a glass of water which is like 3 in the after moon most timea
Possible option
If you are not hungry in the morning. Skip the cream w ur coffee?
You will still be in a IF😄
Then eat your 1st meal a time 10am or later if possible, add more fats?
Over time if you’ve choose, you can gradually get 2 meals a day
Just an option
Good luck
