What is your body fat %?

Do you lift weights? If you don't already lift weights, that's an easy way to keep losing weight. But try not to eat MUCH more food than you already are, which is easy to do on low carb.

i don't know my body fat but my BMI is 24+ so i'm now in "normal weight" range, but i'm not muscular, never have been.

i know i should lift weights regularly not just for weight loss but for stronger bones and muscles but i just don't enjoy weight lifting and have no motivation for it...

How about any other form of exercise? I don't recommend jogging, but you should consider power yoga or classes like Orange Theory.

If you don't want to exercise and you're already eating a low carb diet, there's one more thing you can do to lose weight without lowering the number of calories and that is to reduce your protein consumption. You really shouldn't be eating more than 1g per 1kg of lean body mass per day, considering you're not lifting weights. On a low carb diet, protein you consume that is not required to rebuild muscles is turned into glucose via gluconeogenesis. Look it up.

i do exercise - i bike a lot, 1hr+ per day on avg. i also do modified push-ups but twice a week at most... i just hate it...
