It's easy to say "you're not eating enough, especially if you're exercising" but I gain weight instantly if I eat any more than that, even with a workout regiment, even eating healthy foods.
And no, it wasn't enough -- I typically got light headed rather quickly if I didn't take a break between each exercise.

I don't doubt for a second that there's something wrong. But at 1,500 calories, your workouts aren't going to do much for you. Cardio, sure, but that in combination with resistance training? The math doesn't add up. I'm not sure what your BMR is, but the difference between that and what you'd need to fuel adequate exercise has to be more than 1,500 calories.
And for the record, you can't wait out the starvation mode.
Your going to have to trust your doctor, and tell him everything. I stand by my suspicion that this is a combination of physiological and psychological issues.
