Well I don't know what kind of dairy you're eating but it's possible you have basically zero fat intake. Not good for fat loss or for being healthy in general.
A general rule I saw was that if you're naturally skinny you want a smaller percentage of fat in your diet for fat loss (approx. 10-15% of calories), still higher than what you could be eating.
If you're naturally muscular you want a higher percentage (20-30%)
If you naturally gain fat easily you want an even higher percentage (30%+)
These percentages are assuming your calorie intake is still being standardized.
Messing with the variables -- fat/carb/protein ratio's, total calories -- should provide the results you're looking for.
Good luck.
