You’re doing all the right things, eating healthy and exercising. The only problem I see is that you need to eat more for breakfast. How about a bowl of oatmeal with a banana and some milk? Keep up the good work.

If you’re working out that hard, you’re going to want to bump of the calorie intake just a bit so your body has protein to repair the rips and tears in your muscles. Not excessive. That’s a good start. Once you start to see results, then you may want to increase the calorie intake a bit more. Of course, that’s if you’re looking to build muscle. If you’re just looking to get toned, then not necessarily. Good luck…keeping up with diets are tough.
Edit: By the way, 139 is close to average for someone your height and age.
i’m not an expert at all…but it sounds good to me. i too, am trying to lose weight. i eat a bowl of cereal in the a.m. and take a vitamin. for lunch i eat a salad or a turkey or chicken sandwich on wheat. i drink water throughout the day. for dinner i eat a salad, a baked lean piece of meat/poultry, and some rice. and i walk for an hour 5 days a week. i make it a habit to not eat after 6 p.m.
real good hope it works for you.
For your height, I think 1000-1200 is too few calories, especially considering the amount of exercise you’re putting in. You’d lose weight even if sedentary on 1200 calories. I’d bump up the calories to 1800-2000. Otherwise it looks fine.
this a good plan but you already sound skinny 5/6 at 139 thats pretty good!
