You could easily add a little extra fat and calories into what you ate today. Using the full eggs if you can tolerate the yolks ( I hate them so I use white as well) and when you use the blue cheese, butter and olive oil use more than what you are using. That would help get calories up without having to change your meals at all. Also one of the easiest ways I found to bump my calories if they are low at the end of the day is to have a cup of tea with a Tablespoon or 2 of cream in it.

I think your fat content is supposed to be higher. An almond snack (or some other nut) would help that..hey..maybe even a couple scoops of peanut butter.

Congrats on your weight loss!!

btw...at 125lbs...you can't be too big anyway...and if you've got some muscles...115 is pretty thin.

For someone your size, 1350 calories is not that bad. I wouldn't worry about it. Your fat/carbs/protein graph seemed to be out of whack, so I'm not sure what your real ratios look like, but aim for 70-80% fat.
