Run of the mill stall, or?

I am almost 10 months out and down about 132 pounds. I started at 310 and am hovering between 175 and 180. In the last month I haven't dropped any weight. I've been eating around 1200 calories a day, less than 100 carbs a day, and between 60 and 110 grams of protein per day (my surgeon recommends 50-60 unless you work out really hard and frequently) I usually go to the gym about 5 days a week, sometimes more, sometimes less, and burn between 250 and 450 calories on the treadmill, plus weight training. My questions is, does this seem like a regular old stall or does it seem like i'm doing something wrong, or does it seem like maybe my body is just done losing? I'm 5'8" so 175 isn't a bad weight for me, but my goal was 150-160. Any thoughts or feedback would be greatly appreciated!!!

I don't think you are done losing but I think that with the work outs you are doing you may need to eat more.  Make sure you get at least 100 grams of protein a day and all you water.
Try adding an extra protein shake or snack and see if you don't break your stall.

What about increasing your calories?  I just had a 3 week stall.. I spoke to my nut and increased from 800 to1100 calories 3 days ago and today I finally lost 2 lbs.. Maybe your body just needs more especially since you're exercising a lot.  Congrats on the 132!  You look great

Typical stall.  I know this sounds backwards, but try upping your calories a little bit.
