How tall are you? 1500 cals is too low IMO. You probably need to refeed.

if your a guy at 5'10 and 155 you do NOT need to loose weight, just hit the weights hard and turn what you have into muscle.

Yeah, you need to eat a healthy clean diet and increase your calories. You really need to get those calories higher. Lift heavy and add some muscle. This will help with the fat moreso than just dieting.

1500 cals is to low. your body has entered starvation mode which is why your weight loss has halted. I would start back at 2250 cals a day and slowly decrease from there...
