Why not? It just means you eat a specific amount of calories and you’ll lose weight no?
In addition, I have successfully eaten the “correct” amount of calories for years and years and still gained weight. I admit, andcdata, but I am not the only person with this story nor am I the only one with this odd medical outcome.

So that means you are not eating the correct amount of calorie. But i guess you knew that since you use the word correct in quote.
I put correct in quotes because it was ineffective. I did not lose weight eating the amount of calories that the doctors calculated. Is that surprising?
Finding how many calories your body needs right now to maintain weight is another issue entirely, and one which involves estimation and uncertainties.
If you find you're not losing weight while hitting your target value, well then it's simple[1]: your target value is wrong and needs to be lowered.
[1]: Assuming your doc verified you're not gaining weight due to water retention or similar.
