Chances are if you are dieting, and excersing but not seeing any results you need to adjust something. Not every diet or excersise program works for everybody, if there was one sure fire way, then nobody would be fat.
One thing you need to consider though is how long have you been on this diet? If you just started, and have seen no results on the scale, do your clothes at least fit better? Most dr's, trainers, nutritionists, etc. will agree that you don't always need to go by what the scale says. Diets and excersise programs are generally best evaluated on how you feel, and how many inches you've lost.
If you've just started the diet, maybe you haven't given it enough time to work. Or, you could be building muscle, which weighs more then fat, so while the scale isn't actually changing, you are doing good for your body. Or it might not be working.
If you've been on it a while, and originally saw results, you could be hitting a platue. Or it might have stopped working. In eiher case, I would tweak things a bit, and see if you can get some results.
Most dr's, and nutritionists alike will agree though that the most succesful diets are those that are balanced. Many of the diets that cut out a certain key thing, do work, but you have to either never eat that food again, or risk gaining the weight back as soon as you start again. Thats a common problem with the low carb diets. They work, but as soon as you start adding back carbs, ppl often gain weight back. Plus your body needs certain vitamins and minerals and other things that can only be found in certain foods. I would say cutting out dairy completly is a bad idea, but if it works for you, and its something you commited to, you can get the things you need elsewhere. Calcium can be found in many other foods, as can vitamin D, and other things that are commonly found in dairy that are good for you.
My final piece of advice, if you haven't done so already, talk to you dr about your plans. It wouldn't hurt to see if you can get a personal trainer, and or nutritionist. They can help you find diet, and excersise plans that are best for you, your body, and your lifestyle. As well as help you set reasonable goals, and expectations on yourself. Your dr is key to, since they know your body, and often know what you need most, and can tell you your ideal weight.

What diet are you on? What exactly are you doing when you say you're on a diet. Try reducing your carbs. If you eat pasta try using wheat pasta. If you're a bread eater eat light bread or wheat bread. Before you get ready to eat try drinking water before each meal. Say about 16oz or more, that way you fill up faster with less food. Also when you eat, eat just enough so that you're no longer hungry not full. Never lay down after eating a meal.

Portion control may be your issue. I was dieting and exercising and not losing a pound. Once I started measuring what I was eating, I really saw results. What I thought was a tablespoon of peanut butter was actually 1/4 of a cup. A portion of cheese is the size of a credit card, a portion of protein is a deck of cards....
