Could there be something wrong with my metabolism?

I'm afraid theres something wrong with my metabolism, I know that a person isnt supposed to go under 1200 calories a day even when trying to lose weight( I have 10 pounds to drop) but I have been eating 1200 for as long as I can remember and nothing has budged. I thought for a while I was eating too little so I increased to 1600 but that only made me gain weight. for the last few weeks I've been eating around 1000 but still no change. I dont eat sugar or complex carbs... mainly I eat lean meats and veggies and nuts. I walk everywhere and hike for 30 minutes every day. I'm not sure what to do, I feel so restricted that yesterday I got upset because I had half a cup of granola and a handful of shredded wheat and now that feels like cheating to me. Should I see a doctor? I'm mystified and discouraged.
