Anyone above goal and satisfied?

I'm 17 months post op, down 130 pounds and still losing about 1 pound per month. Currently I'm 5'3 and 186 (size 14) - still too heavy in my opinion. I still have about 30 pounds to get to my personal goal though I'm at my surgeon's goal of 70% of excess weight lost. I eat about 1200-1400 calories and 50g carbs per day (35 net carbs), 100oz water, 80g protein. Since July, I get to the gym 5x per week doing 40 min of cardio and 20 min weight training (workout designed by a professional trainer and modified every 2 months). I do need to have a tummy tuck and sure that will take care of 10 pounds of it. Here's my question. Is anyone this far from goal and satisfied? I'm not complaining at all about how much I've lost or how great I feel and I have a fantastic quality of life now. But since I was little, all I ever heard was calories in vs. calories out and since I'm working so hard with exercise and the food plan, I just don't understand why I can't get off these last 30 pounds. Thanks in advance and have a great day!
