To build muscle you need to eat protein. And if you’re lifting weights your body will need some time to recomp and replace fat with muscle which is heavier, so you may not lose weight immediately. But you will get stronger.
It’s OK to not be the tiniest person ever, and it’s OK to not be the smallest version of yourself.

You need to follow a high protein low carb diet. You cannot outrun the fork. Keep a food diary and write down everything you eat. You may be snacking and not realize it.

Omg this is me. My husband thought I was crazy. I tried unsuccessfully for 2 years. Didn't lose a single pound. Finally succumbed to glp1.

It’s been three weeks. How long were you overeating past your energy needs? A decade or more? None of this happens overnight.
As for the 3x beginning strength training workouts. Those are a rounding error and not the source of your ravenous hunger.
Water, lean meat, fruit, vegetables and no junk. High volume low calorie dense food. No added sugar. Do that and you will see some progress.

Muscle burns way more calories than fat.

This is OP - I am using Noom and based on my activity level and weight loss goals this is what it recommends. Previously it recommended 1350 calories per day and I was losing weight on that for a little while (0.5-1 lb per week), but I stalled which is why I added weight training and with the increase in activity it now suggests 1500 calories.
Unfortunately most women in perimenopause can’t eat much more than that to lose weight. I am not spending hours at the gym by the way, more like 20-30 mins 4-5 days a week.

Human women need more than 1500 calories. Your body feels it's in a deficit so won't lose any weight.

My clothing doesn’t feel looser and I don’t feel any different.
How do I balance the need to eat super healthy and limit calories but also to work out more which makes me even more hungry?
Where did you come up with this approach? If it was from a professional then great. If not it seems quite off. You need to eat a bit more not 1500 calories. Otherwise your body will not let the weight go. It thinks you are in crisis.
