Weight Loss Is Nonexistent, Need Nutritional Advice (About Weighing/choosing Food Etc). Any Help Is Appreciated!

As you can see, my ticker hasn't moved in a very long time. I truly am dieting and trying to stick to a plan/go to the gym but I have not been seeing any results

How truly frustrating! Now i'm realizing that I MUST be doing things wrong

Here's a typical day for me (bear in mind that I have no restriction yet)

Breakfast:

2 low fat string cheese's or some eggs and cheese with whole grain rice cakes

Snack:

10 almonds

Lunch:

4 oz of turkey breast (honey smoked) with a few more ounces of a veggie (pickle) and a few rice cakes or whole wheat crackers, not totaling more than 8 ounces

Dinner: (my hardest meal)

Something Protein based (chicken or something) but usually with brown rice with some veggies not totaling more than 8 ounces

So here are my questions:

1) should I be eating less than 8 ounce per meal?

2) I am measuring on a digital food scale until it reaches 8 ounces- is this wrong (and should I be only eating what I can literally stuff into an 8 ounce cup?)

As you can see, my meals are basically protein based and very low carbs are included. I also just joined a gym and go 4 times a week and spend 30 mins on the eliptical doing cardio and 30 mins doing strength training. Some people say the "you are not losing weight because your building muscle" or your weighing yourself t night when your filled with liquids" I just don't believe them
