Hi!
I doubt you could have/should have lost any more weight - that's the dieting industry and it's "magic cure" message. It's always difficult to lose the infamous Last 10-20 Pounds, so since that's your starting point, you've done fabulously! Give yourself a pat on the back.
Go by size, not the scale. If you've low fat/low calorie dieted in the past, it's almost guaranteed that you were low on protein, too, so your lean body mass was less than it should have been. Low carb/ample protein corrects this. You have to be prepared to be smaller at a higher weight than you'd expect. At 135-140, I fit into the same clothes that I wore when I was 125 from low fat (starvation). I obviously had no muscle tone!
So toss that scale and use the pant-o-meter instead... or do it the old fashioned way and use a tape measure. You're doing well.
