Question about carbs and protein (19 1/2 years out from surgery)

I want to do a "reset" so to speak. I have gained with (was up to 205 pounds) and have restricted calories to get back to about 189. But I feel I am starving!!

Sooooooooooo -- I want to get back to lower carbs and higher fat/protein. There's soooo much info online, so I wanted to come here with fellow DS'ers to get your thoughts.

I am not one to do less than 20 carbs a day. Not sustainable to me. 50 is pushing it. lol What would you all suggest? I want to lose another 30-40 pounds and calorie restriction has been incredibly slow (15 pounds lost has taken me 3 months and has now slowed to a crawl or even gains -- when I'm BELOW 1400 calories). I'm hungry constantly.

What would you wise people suggest?

Thank you so much!!
