    At 5'4 and 125-130 pounds, you seem to be very slim already. So I would consider that your body just isn't comfortable with losing more weight and is holding onto whatever fat it has left.
    So what Veronika pointed out seems a good point to me: maybe it would make more sense to put on some muscles than to try to drop more weight. It's likely that you won't race stronger if you are starving yourself.


    That said, your calorie-intake seems quite high for trying to lose weight. I wouldn't force myself into eating more if you don't feel like eating more. Of course it all depends on your body, how fast your metabolim is etc.
    But if I compare your numbers to myself - at 5'4 and about 150 pounds (hope I got that right this time - is a little less than 70 Kilogramm), and fairly active (1hr/day, more on weekends) I maintain my weight at about 1800-2000 calories a day (not NET calories but total calorie-intake from my meals).

    Edit: I don't feel comfortable with the thought that you could take this as a recommendation to lower your calorie-intake.
    My personal recommendation would be: do whatever feels good for you. Maybe just stop counting calories for some time if you have the feeling that you obsess about it. Eat if you are hungry, stop if you are full. It's as simple as that
