Well, first of all, I'd worry far more about dizziness and blurred vision than I would about fat, at this point. Dizzy sounds like a carb deficit to me. Are you snacking appropriately during rides? You may even find that some simple carbs, like those found in gel packs, aren't an awful thing when you need a quick boost.
I see that you have nuts and avocado in your diet, but maybe you should also track your diet for a few days and see if you're getting enough protein for the kinds of workouts you do.
Unfortunately, I don't know much about raw diets, so I can't suggest anything more specific. It seems to me that a lot of fat-loss diet ideas don't work, at least not without modification, for people who work out a lot.

I would run, not walk, to the nearest dr and/or registered dietician. Are you eating dairy products or grains at all? You may not be getting a full complement of amino acids. You have to eat milk products or combine legumes with grains at the same meal (or same time frame). You may not be getting enough B12 without animal products either. I would assume that it is harder to digest and absorb the nutrients in raw foods so you may have some difficiencies somewhere. There are a number of nutrients especially vital for women that can be hard to get in a veg diet. Blurred vision and dizziness are not to be messed with. I would recommend consulting a health professional based on these symptions combined with your activity level, diet and really rapid weightloss. Can you hold off on your next ride until you consult someone?
