Eat more.

The body does not let go of fat when you're not giving it enough food.

You're not going to like this answer but you really have to watch your calories if you are trying to lose the last 5-10.

Cut out any processed foods. Go organic as much as you can. If it didn't come from the ground or have a mother DON'T eat it.
Whole grains
NO alcohol. I mean it!
Greens are free food. They are high in fiber which fills you up, and your body almost takes more energy to digest them than the calories that are in them. If you put sauce on them, LIGHT!! Use seasonings, steam, or bake.
Watch your sodium intake. Keep it at or below 1800mg.
Make sure you're hydrating! Your muscles need water.
Protein protein protein! Helps build lean muscle and maintain what muscle you have. Make sure it's organic.

Might want to check out Making The Cut from Jillian Michaels. The whole book is based off your question here and there is an extreme science behind it.

Find your TDEE and eat about 250-500 calories less than that per day. From your diary looks like you are targeting 1200 - that seems low.

Looks like you dont eat much. Set your weekly goal to lose 0.5lbs, since you dont have much to lose.
