Protein and Fiber

Is it true that a high protein and fiber diet helps you loose weight?
My average day looks like: 1200 calories, 169 carbs, 25 fat, 52 protein, 27 fiber, 2147 sodium
Goal (as set by myfitness pal): 1200 calories, 165 carbs, 40 fat, 45 protein, 14 fiber, 2500 sodium
If it helps: I am 24 years old, female, 5' 9.5", 191 lbs
I am not currently working out-I start with a gym and trainer at the end of this month. I am an ex competitive tennis player and trying to get back in shape after putting on a lot of weight when I got hurt.
I slightly remembering hearing somewhere that consuming more than 14g of fiber a day helps you loose more weight and speeds up your metabolism (mine is ubsurdly slow).
I already lost 50 lbs but decided to rejoin to loose the last 50.
I think based on my averages, I currently have a low fat, low sodium, high protein, high fiber diet.
