Confused all over :s

Hi all!
I've been trying to lose the last few pounds for over 3 months now, and they just won't go away. Whenever I start to finally lose some weight and start seeing a difference, I gain the weight right back up! I'm getting frustrated since I don't indulge myself too much and I just can't seem to get past my 118 pounds... I already lost 15 so I CAN lose weight, but I don't know what I'm doing wrong.
I'm 5'0 and I would like to be around 110, I don't think that's too low for my height. I exercise 6 days a week: 45 minutes cardio (usually running or elliptical), and around 50 minutes of strength training at the gym with the trainer.
I was eating around 1200 calories total, but maybe that was too low, so I started eating 1500 about a week ago, is this too much? was I eating too little? Because when I enter my goals here it says I should be eating max 1210... :S See my confusion?
Also I have a low tolerance for carbs and am insulin resistant, so I try to eat around 35% carbs, 35% fat and 30% protein...
Please help! I really have no idea what I'm doing wrong and I'm really starting to get discouraged.

Here are my suggestions: switch out your exercise routines; I drink what I call a digestive tea each morning B/F breakfast. It consists of: 5 drops of hot sauce (to rev up metabolism), lemon juice, green tea and hibiscus tea combined. Also, are you getting enough sleep, that helps also.
Good luck and DON'T GIVE UP. You'll find something to fix your Plateau!0
