Sorry for the long lost, but I thought I'd ask for some advice. Thanks guys+girls!

So I'm going to go ahead and say you should just wait and watch what happens. You never know what weight your body will want to settle at, especially if you are strength training. You might end up heavier than 155 but smaller and fitter. Or lower than 155 and feeling too thin in which case you might like to adjust your carbs a bit (adding lentils etc). Don't be obsessed with the numbers, think about how you feel.
The good news is, I think you will definitely make the goal your doctor has set for you. I am pretty suspicious of BMI charts as an indicator of health, but its not a bad broad metric to keep in mind.
