Losing Weight When...(Need Advice!!)

You are in a "normal" BMI...
My first 40 lbs came off so easy, by eating what I wanted in moderation, with some working out and mainly just with walking everywhere.. It took a while, but it came off and I could still enjoy my life without being very strict at all...
But now that I am down to this weight, and I guess my body considers itself "normal" I really am having issues losing any weight at all.. and to be where I want to be (to be happy with my weight and my body) I really want to get down to 130. (especially because I am trying to break into the entertainment industry).
I know I need to cut back on the treats that I allow myself, and probably up the cardio a little bit (right now I only do cardio 2-3 times a week--aside from walking everywhere) But I was wondering if anyone else has hit this area and if what methods they have used to get past it?
