Time to open the tub faucet mechanism. Turn off the main, remove the handle and bezel. You should see a brass or chrome hex that can be unscrewed to remove the valve stem. Once it is out cover the opening with a towel and have a friend briefly open/close the main. Did you get pressure? If yes clean or replace your valve or cartridge.
