Be patient. Sometimes it takes a while to start losing weight. I am not sure why that is, but I have noticed that there is a delay there. Similarly when one goes off a diet there seems to be a lag before the body starts gaining weight.
So, as long as you are eating healthy and exercising, you WILL lose weight. I guarantee it, just stick with your plan.
In the meantime, do not over do it. You will pay for it later I promise. Stick to something sustainable (if you feel the two cardios work for you thats fine, but it would be too much for most people), and aim for a moderate calorie deficit.
Also keep an eye on other indicators than weight, e.g. how clothes fit, waist size, how you look/ feel etc.
Good luck

It does seem strange that you haven't lost weight, but you don't say how old you are, your height, weight and age and your gender.
Here's a website for women that can help to determine how many calories you need to maintain your weight, assuming you are a woman...[Link](Mouse over link to see full location)
To lose weight you would have to take in fewer calories than that.
If you're taking in less calories already, then you could be holding onto water. The first 10 lbs. are usually the easiest to shed. If you are retaining water, lower your salt intake. Don't cut out the salt altogether because your workout sounds pretty intense and you need salt.
I wish I could be of more help, but, I'm not sure what to make of it.
