First, a study came out that debunked the "3500" calories =s 1 lb. I simply isn't true.

Second, I have been hanging out at the refuse or regain site and she has evidence that metabolism does not move that much. Kind of no matter what... your metabolism = to other women of the same age has been proven to be just about the same. No matter what. It can move a little (like 100 cals) based on age, muscle, exercise etc... but... it won't be "destroyed" due to eating less.
I do think our bodies have a tremendous ability to maintain balance -- and so, your body has likely adjusted, so you need to shake it up again. Some people say that is low metabolism but the truth is that we just don't know. It could be a zillion things... hormones, etc.
I suggest, drop those calories substantially. Use high volume low calorie foods to keep yourself full and shake up your body. Also as the other poster mentioned... try something like intermittent fasting just to shake it up what is happening. In my experience it works.
