Welcome to the forum, Bobby.
Plenty of great advice offered thus far.
Although you're using a MFP, as means of tracking your consumption, I'd also recommend starting a food diary for a week or two in order to document your intake, as not only will it provide you with a clearer idea of the kind of food you're eating on a regular basis, it'll assist others upon the forum to point you in the correct direction, too.
Out of interest, how many calories does MFP recommend that you consume, based upon your measurements (age/weight/height) and level of activity?
The reason I ask is that you need to get your BMR and TDEE right, as you introduce a daily calorie deficit, allowing weight loss to occur at a sensible and sustained level. Don't even consider introducing a severe calorie deficit in the hope of accelerating loss, as you'll quickly come to regret it.
As already stated by others, you cannot spot reduce. However, as fitness levels improve, you can greatly reduce overall levels of body fat by ensuring that your cardiovascular exercise is performed as intensely as you're able, with the aim of eventually introducing HIIT into your schedule.
Since the activity uses your anaerobic energy system, the fuel needed to power your intense intervals is derived from glycogen (stored in your muscles) and fat (once glycogen reserves have been depleted). Granted, the intense intervals are challenging but HIIT cardio only needs to be performed for 20 minutes, 2-3 times a week to quickly witness a noticeable difference in body composition.
In order to witness improvements through HIIT, you need to ensure that you're consuming sufficient calories (particularly carbohydrate) in the 24 hours afterwards to replenish. Don't worry, due to the huge energy deficit that HIIT creates, a measured carbohydrate intake won't be stored as fat; it'll be broken down and used to replenish depleted glycogen. Don't make the mistake of thinking that increased protein intake, over carbohydrate, will replenish glycogen reserves.
Concerning your level of loss so far, given that you've begun to exercise, you may have begun to build muscle mass. As such, I wouldn't necessarily pay too much attention to your weight upon the scale. Use your improving body composition and fit of your clothes as markers of progress, in addition to accepting that the excess wasn't gained overnight, so it's not going to be lost overnight, either.
Although you may be slightly disappointed with your level of loss, if I were explain that in order to lose 7 pounds you'd expended approximately 25,000Kcal, through a mixture of calorie reduction and fat loss, would that allow you to feel better about your achievement?
By placing your effort into context, hopefully it provide you with understanding and appreciation that those efforts haven't been in vain. You're on the right path, Bobby. Keep doing what you're doing and everything will fall into place, as you gradually introduce positive changes along the way.
