I have tried lowering my carbs and upping my fats in the past, but I mostly focused on the calories and on getting enough protein, fiber, and vitamins/minerals

Thanks for sharing that thread; I will definitely take a look. I hope the process is easy for you, it sounds like a solid plan!

I stuck to 1300 for 3 weeks, but I was losing very very little weight and at some point none at all, so I went back to 1200. 1300 was a bit better, but I was still feeling light-headed and weak. As for the workout, I don't know, maybe I should do a sport or something instead, but I just haven't found one that I enjoy so…

Yeap, I think my body finally got tired of such a big deficit and it's fighting me. That's great that you found what triggers your binges. When I tried going off added sugars for about 2 months, my cravings got worse I think. As for natural sugars, I was never interested in cutting those, because it makes no sense to me…

Well, judging from your photo, it seems like you're in fantastic shape after doing this :) I think I will probably either go for just a small deficit (TDEE -200 calories) or recomposition. Thank you very much for the kind words and the useful info!

I was considering recomp as well. I have to research it further though, I don't know enough about it. And since I'm very visual, I don't really care about the number, I just want to feel good about what I see in the mirror.

I am getting about 80-90 grams per day. Indeed, you are quite right, I really need to do something about the fats.

Mfp gave me that number when I started, but then I did not adjust to a lower deficit when I dropped most of the weight. I think I lose about 0.8-1kg per week when I eat that much. I lose weight and my clothes fell more loose as well, not just due to fat loss, but mostly because a lot of water weight goes away; I tend to…

You're right, I should have clarified. So, yes, I'm 130 now and I would like to get to about 120. I don't have an exact number as a goal, but right now I feel heavy. Oh, also, I'm a woman, I don't think I mentioned that either.
