Almost 17 years out and need to lose 25-30 lbs

So I seriously evaluated my situation and decided to fully recommit to losing the weight. On April 11th I weighed 180 lbs. I lost 3 lbs the first week, and 2 lbs the second week. Ideally I'd like to continue losing 2 lbs a week, but I know that I will sometimes only lose 1 lb a week. My goal is to get back down to 150, and I'd like to get there by my 18-year WLS anniversary on September 14th. While my health is my biggest priority, I have so many cute jeans and sweaters I want to fit in again for Fall and Winter.

I wake up at 6:30 am every morning (Mon-Fri) and work out for 30 minutes. Three times a week I do Pilates, and two times a week I do strength training. No cardio for me as I have exercise-induced asthma.

I have been keeping my calories at 1,000 per day and my macros are set at 40% fat (44 grams), 35% protein (88 grams), and 25% carbs (63 grams), although I tend to get up to 100 grams of protein a day.

Onward and downward :)
