I have two questions for you

1.To close to the top edge for what? Do you know that there is some evidence that says a little overweight is better than a little underweight? I would worry more about too close to the low edge, especially if you have to force yourself to get down that low.

2.Why do you think you have large amounts of fat on your body? Your perception may be skewed and the answer may not be losing more weight.

I eat over 1800 calories almost every day and over 150 grams of fat. I'm maintaining a weight loss of over 120 pounds. I think you're overthinking everything and making it harder on yourself than you need to. Try to relax, keep counting your carbs and let the rest take care of itself. This can be fun and easy rather than a constant battle with yourself.
