Just wanted to say: first off, congrats on making all the effort. Seriously. Even if the results aren't quite what you want effort is going to be the make or break for your goals.
I can't recommend weightlifting enough, which may seem counterintuitive since it builds muscle and you're trying to lose weight.
The thing is that muscle is lean, and a pound of muscle is going to look a lot different on your body than a pound of fat. Your body also needs to use more energy to maintain it - having more muscle means you have a higher BMR, so as long as you're lifting weights you can eat more without looking fatter.
