Enemy Spellcasters kill me with one-hit with Flames on Novic : V

This is an issue I've been dealing with lately, and it's finally gotten to the point where I'm actually stuck in a certain part of the game because I can't get past a group of spellcasters.

I get killed in one shot by Destruction spells - fire, shock, ice, it doesn't make any difference. Even dragon fire breaths kill me in one hit. What's weird is I'm a beast against melee/range.

I'm level 45; have full Legendary Glass armor (working on getting Dragon); and have the following Resist Magic stats:

+15% from Legend of Mara
+20% from Gold Emerald Ring
+20% from Gold Ruby Necklace
+25% from The Lord Stone
+41% Resist Shock and Frost from Glass Boots

I don't have any negative Active Effects - just Fortify Destruction, One-Handed, Magicka, Health, and Alchemy show up.

I've tried using potions to increase my magical and elemental resistance further but it makes no difference.

I have 459 health; 272 magicka; and 160 stamina.

Something I noticed earlier was when I unequipped my armor and reequipped it, the enchantments from my armor didn't show up under 'Active Effects.' But after unequipping and reequipping them again the effects showed up.

Am I doing something wrong with my armor set? Is the game glitching? This happens even when I turn the difficulty down to Novice.

*Additional note: My Light Armor is 61 and I have Agile Defender x2 and Custom Fit perks.
