How to play as a defender in 7-a-side football when you keep getting nutmegged?

I play centre-back in 7-a-side football in Pune and I keep getting embarrassed. Quick attackers nutmeg me regularly and I end up looking clueless. My positioning is okay when the ball is far but one-on-one situations are a nightmare. I'm 27, decent fitness, played recreational football since college but never learned proper defensive technique. How do I improve my 1v1 defending? It's a smaller pitch so there's less time to react.
