If you really want to lose a few more pounds you will have to switch up your workout. Your body gets used to what you do on a routine basis. Then what worked in the beginning stops working as well. If you have been doing cardio on an elliptical, try doing aerobics...or vice versa. Just do something different. If you are working out 3 days a week...do something different each day. Then your body will have a harder time settling into the routine. Personally, I do not think you are overweight. You are right in the healthy zone for your height.
You've probably hit a plateau. You're definitely not overweight, but if you'd like to keep losing, just add 20 minutes to your workouts and reduce your intake to 1100 calories a day. Try drinking a lot more water to fill up and replace lost fluid, too.
For your height, your ideal weight is between 98lbs and 121lbs. You're almost there to be within the healthy range.

By understanding energy balance is the key to lose weight successfully.
calorie intake > calorie use = weight gain
calorie intake = calorie use = no change to body weight
calorie intake < calorie use = weight loss
I think you are in the overweight range. Most people don't know what overweight actually looks like. And those people are the ones who end up obese. But if you take care of yourself well throughout your life, you will never gain weight the way others have. And you will probably lose it.
I think what you're suppose to do is eat more on one or two days, and then continue to eat 1200 calories a day again after. And that should help you continue to lose weight. I read about it somewhere.
My friend's doctor told her to eat more protein in the morning to help her lose weight. Don't know if that helps also.
