I haven't lost weight

You.

Eat.

Too.

Much.

You can cheat meals, cheat reps, cheat on your girl or your taxes, but you will not cheat the second motherfucking law of thermodynamics.

Two things to consider:

Weighing yourself is a shit way to measure progress. Seriously. You're better off looking in the mirror. If you're lifting - you're gaining muscle. Muscle is denser than fat. That means you'll gain weight. This is okay, in fact it means your getting stronger. If you really want to measure progress you need to measure your body fat percentage - a pair of callipers will be the most convenient method for this.
Abs are made in the kitchen. Lift to gain weight. Diet to lose weight. If you're eating more calories than you're burning you're going to get fat. Get a fitness tracker like MyFitnessPal and track your calorie intake religiously to work out if you need to eat more or less.

Weigh for a few days straight, sometimes you may bloat if you eat a bit of junk, but man you should count your calories, I know the numbers of everything I put in my mouth it isn't difficult once you get the hang of it.

You're gaining muscles under the fat you're losing. Since muscle is heavier, ... Advise here is solid, you're 2 months in. Don't expect such drastic changes, keep at it. Progess will seem to go faster and faster as your body fat reduces. 2 months isn't even 10-12 weeks. The minimum for a training regime. If you don't give up by then, you're likely in it in the long run.

You eat too much. Get a Fitbit or myfitnesspal and chart everything. Fitbit will track your TDEE on a day to day basis, so I highly recommend.

Dont forget when you weigh yourself is importany too. You say you sweat like a mofo...so after training you lose a lot of waterweight. The difference can be pretty big.

Yes. You'll have to start counting your calories religiously. You will even have to weigh everything you eat. You won't loose fat without a deficit.

As a sidenote you might have lost fat but replaced ot with muscles.

Muscle weighs more than fat. Ignore the scale unless you need it for competition.
