I'm a vegetarian also. You have no fresh vegetables or fruit in your diet, you can't be a vegetarian if you aren't eating vegetables. Your breakfast is too small. Add fruit and soymilk. Have vegetables with your lunch. Try to eat less frozen food for dinner and prepare your own.
For snacking, the peanuts are good. Have some granola too.

Nope.
You're eating too little. I see a whole bunch of carbs and not a lot of protein in that. Sooner or later the water will be drawn into your muscles, you will bloat and you will gain weight. You need protein and not so much carb.
You eat very starchy breads for 2 meals in a row. Have Oatmeal for breakfast instead of toast, and for lunch or dinner when you want a change- look into vegetable soups- homemade is even better. Also- don't eat just noodles for dinner- have a veggie burger or something like that with it.
If you changed your diet because of some medical reason or belief then all the more power to you- but if you became vegetarian under the impression that a vegan's diet loses the most weight then you're mistaken. Especially a vegan diet that doesn't contain a lot of protein.
If you're really interested in this whole vegetarian idea then I recommend you don't become a full on vegan but rather a lacto-ovo vegetarian who does not have any red meat, fish or fowl in their diet but has dairy products with things like eggs, milk, cheese to supplement their protein intake.
I will say this now- if you don't add in more protein then this diet will eventually fail.

I didn't see any fresh fruits or vegetables. The veggie protein doesn't really count. I hope you are adding fresh, preferably raw, fruits and veggies as well. Your diet looks kind of starch-heavy to me.

You didn't specify portion sizes, but it doesn't sound to me like you're probably getting enough calories. If you're losing a substantial amount of weight without specifically intending to, that means your calories out exceed calories in.
Keep track for a few days and see how many you're taking in. For an inactive female, if my numbers are correct, you should be eating at least 1500 calories per day. If you're active, you should be eating more. 1200 is the absolute minimum intake, and that's if you want to lose weight. Below that and you're messing with your metabolism.
Vegetarianism is a tricky science. You might want to see a nutritionist to make sure you're eating properly, or at the very least, do some substantial research.
Good luck.

Looks to me like you are eating from the 4 basic food groups, and I know that is good.
Changing your diet is surely the reason you have been losing weight. Especially if it is much healthier than what you were eating before.
If you are seeking weight loss in your diet, it would be good to throw in some excersises.

your body isnt getting the vitamins and nutrients it needs thats why you are not active if you feel weak try taking some vegan vitamins they work wonders
