    I think you need to stop focusing on the numbers. 115 is a healthy weight for 5'3 and that might be why you can't seem to lose any more weight.

    I will keep it short! I would like to make a suggestion that will help you maintain the healthy look that you are desiring. Since you are young it will be to your benefit to learn the principals of healthy living which include: Sleep, Exercise,Water, Mental Rest, Nutritious Food and a Positive Attitude. If you make them a habit they will serve you well your whole life and you will never have to worry about being over weight. The best to you because you are on the right track.

    Are you weighing your food ?
    Staying hydrated ?
    Sleeping well ?
    Ditto. Get a good scale and weigh everything. If you're eating packaged food regularly, just know that the food industry tampers with the numbers on the nutrition labels. They are allowed a certain margin of error.

    If there's something in your diet that's so good, you can't believe it has so few calories, then cut that item out and see what happens.

    I understand and have similar frustrations with those last few pounds. I know mentally I'm at my weight but I always strive for my skinny weight. Unfortunately it's hard to reach and when I finally do it's hard to maintain long term, I always end up gaining back 5 lbs.

    Because you are eating too little - it may seem like a contraindication, but it happens. Also, consult a physician regarding whether it is safe for you to reach your goal weight and maintain it

    Good points.

    Just in case it wasn't clear. Start lifting free weights at the gym, with a very slight increase in calories a day. I would add only about 100 from a protein heavy source. This will help you build muscle while mostly maintaining current fat levels. This is otherwise known as clean bulking. I'd be willing to bet you will see a difference in as little as month.
