See a nutritionist: perhaps you need to change your diet. If you see a nutritionist, you can make lifestyle changes which will last and your weight will reflect those changes.

Bmi 20 to 25 : For your height you are not far over your ideal weight, bmi at the high end of normal of 25 is 145 pounds for you. Bmi of 20 is the low end and would be 120 pounds. Shoot for 10k steps a day, 8 glasses of water and 8 fruits and veggies. Weigh in weekly And use connected scale for simplicity in interpretation. Try health gaming to encourage the positive https://appsto.re/us/STRCY.i Good luck!
