Congratulations on losing 40 pounds! Even though you can't work out, you should be able to make decent progress on a deficit at 143 pounds, so please clarify how slow your rate of loss is. If you're not using a food scale, you're most likely unintentionally eating more than 1400 calories.

For the last 10 lb, we don't have as much room for error.
If your goal is to lose 0.5lb per week, then that means you have a 250 calorie deficit per day - so if you're not being as accurate as possible with your logging, it's super easy to wipe out your deficit. For example, when I had more weight to lose it didn't end up mattering much that I trusted that "1 slice" of bread really was a serving... but nowdays I need to weigh the bread and log it by grams, to be more accurate. Also, it's a good idea to re-calculate your calories, as we don't burn as many calories as we did when there was more weight to lose.

If the weight is coming off slowly, then you are probably doing it right! Just be consistent, and stick to your goal. It might take a while, but if you keep eating at a deficit, that weight will come off.

No problem about not being able to work out. A calorie deficit (and some patience!) is all you need.
