Have you ever tracked how much calories you average daily?
Eating full raw vegan is hard to get the required calories daily as it requires consuming such a large volume of food.
here's a regular day
15 servings of fruit (1500 calories)
5 servings of veggies (300 maybe)
nuts&seeds (300-400)
green veggie juice- 10 servings at least- (300 maybe)
and some dried fruit sometimes (even more) so total is over 2000!
I am 5'8" 125lbs. Most women maintaining this weight starve themselves on 1500 calories.
Count how many calories you are consuming each day and how many you are burning as well, and make sure there isn't a deficit. The weight training may be consuming a huge amount of your energy/fat stores.
Like Pame'laVik'toria, in my experience, eating vegetarian/vegan means you need to have a much larger difference between calories in versus calories out than a standard omnivore would.
This is slightly off topic, but that ice cream sounds delicious.
