    You know you're at a healthy weight for your height, but you're unhappy with your body. Here's what I'd do:

    Eat 1500 calories/day (since you said that's all you can manage) and focus on strength training to change your body composition. Really! Focusing on cardio will not give you the changes you hope for. Do strength training most days (start with 2-3 days/week and work your way up) and do cardio most days too- but only for 20mins or so.

    Waldo is right.

    Repairing metabolism and losing weight are mutually exclusive. You need to pick one. I'm fairly sure that the answer is the former not the latter.

    I actually got discharged from hospitals and doctors for ED like a year ago, because I'm a lot better than I was.

    You need to go back to a doctor because you're still struggling with this issue.

    You need professional help, not MFP.
