So from 2 weeks, I have been aggressive and started the following routine:
Treadmill: Morning and Evening (total of 800 calories burn/day) for 5 days/week. So total I am burning about 3500-4000 calories a week on treadmill.
Weight-lifting: once a week, burning 500 calories.
Give and take: I am burning around 4000 calories per week combined.
Breakfast: oatmeal/milk/nuts/peanut butter/honey, about 350 calories.
Lunch: pretty heavy lunch mix of meat or poultry, rice or bread, about 400-700 calories.
Dinner: snacking, about 200-300 calories.
I really want to get lean, fit, healthy, athletic body and be around 170lbs with body fat of 20-23%.
Please advice, comment. I am really struggling in losing 20 lbs.
THANKS!!!

According to this basic calculator, your
BMR would require
1800 calories a day. That doesn't include any of your exercise. (The
Basal
Metabolic
Rate is the amount of energy expended per day
at rest.)
So, you're either far
underestimating your caloric intake or you're far
overestimating your workouts. Probably a little bit of both - how are you figuring your workout expenditures?
If you're only eating ~1350 cals/day there is no reason you should not be losing weight.
