Resistance Training/33 Overweight

My doctor advised me not to engage in resistance training because it can cause dizziness---I suffer from dizziness on a regular and she did not feel this was safe. (Meaning if I was cycling on a stationary bike and attempting resistance training)
I got a lot of input on this subject--Some I understood and some didn't make a lot of sense. My basic frustration is that I began riding a stationary bike 4 months ago, lowered my calorie intake by 500 and still have seen no changes. It's distrubing that when an over-weight person needs help, they are told to "Exercise". They are told to "do anything that gets the body moving 30 minutes a day". I've done this faithfully and did not slim down at all.
I appreciated all the replys and suggestions. However, I didn't come away from this forum with much hope. Everyone is 'different' and eventually I will find something that works for me.
Many Thanks,
Nancy
