Sounds like good advice!
I'm 5'6" and a goal weight of 126 will put me at 19% bodyfat, the absolute lowest in the 'healthy' category. Only athletes go lower and they often suffer with no periods, osteoporosis etc.
So - if you're not trying to lose any more weight, you're on maintenance and can have that cream and cheese. I'm not surprised that you're hungry if you cut your calories below 1500, so am I, its not enough to maintain you and your activity level.
As Rosebud says, low carb is good for you anyway and the exercise is good for you too. The weightlifting will gradually re-shape your body, and may still replace some remaining fat with muscle, which is probably all you want.
All the best and take care, Jay
