Dee, I find it difficult to lose at fifty carbs especially with that much protein. It sounds like you are are working very hard and are getting in shape. I suggest as your weight lifting routine you work every muscle group in your body,(one body part per week) before cardio. Many people believe wow, I don't want to get bulky, that is just a misnomer. To build true bulk is very difficult; especially on your caloric intake. The more muscle we have the higher metabolism we generate.
As a word of encouragement, 1/2 pound a week is true healthy progress! If you stay the course you will reach your goal, let yourself take solace that you are doing something about your health and in the long run, will pay off. I think sometimes as we worry or stress we release stress hormones such as cortisol which inhibits weight
loss.
Sleep is important in losing weight. Considering how hard you work out, it might be beneficial to see a sports nutritionist, I know I will soon.
One day at a time, you can do this, can!
Best wishes.

deeS3211 - I can understand your frustration with slow weight loss but 1/2 pound per week is a loss, maybe not what you're hoping for but it's still a loss. I was given a calorie range of between 600 - 800 calories. I'm nearly always at the 800 calorie mark because I feel 600 is just too low for my body. What I do know is if I have a week of 1000 calories per day my weight loss stops or slows to just a few ounces. Print out your food logs from here and reach out to your nutritionist and have him/her review your intake. If you have a fitness app also provide that information so the nutritionist can get a full view of your intake and calorie burn. Good luck.

I must say, a 1/2 pound loss per week sounds like a good loss. Yes as you get closer to goal, the weight loss slows and menopause might have something to do with it. But as my surgeon said at the start, as long as something is going down (numbers on the scale, clothes sizes, etc.) you are still headed in the right direction. By the way, I started this post menopause and my initial weight loss was about like everyone else who was sleeved, then about 9 months out it slowed way down. My doctor said it just works that way for some folks. Some just lose faster than others. He said my age might have something to do with it, and being less active due to age and lots of arthritis was more likely the reason. Point being, menopause might not be why you are losing slower than you might like.
