Thing is you aren't really done yet. I don't know how big your frame is, but assuming average I think you might want to lose another 10 lbs, especially with a narrow face. And even then you won't be done yet. The next phase is hardening your physique while maintaining the lower bodyweight.
I've lost a lot of weight at periods and I know exactly what it looks like when you've just recently lost like 30 lbs. Your face looks much better, but your body doesn't look hard and lean. In some ways its not much of an improvement at this point. Because you look weaker.. though in some ways like aerobic ability you are vastly improved. But, I still think it is an overall improvement at this point. The improvement for your body is your 'figure' looks a lot better. Eg.. imagine a woman who lost 30 lbs.
When you lose 30 lbs, or even after you lose I estimate 10-15 lbs your body goes into a catabolic state. And that is when it starts ripping up the muscle. And that loss of muscle is what gives you the weaker look. I wouldn't be surprised if the last 15 lbs of what you lost was basically all muscle. Some of that isn't the end of the world, as lighter people need less like legs muscles to move around. A 165 lb person is just going to have smaller leg muscles than a 195 lb person. But I've seen first hand the effect of losing 30 lbs on my upper body muscles.
In the next phase you will be able to increase calories to a maintenance level. It will take time for your body to shift out of a catabolic state, like I would estimate a whole month of eating at a maintenance level for your body to shift out of that. The challenge here is food is going to taste really good and make you feel really good for awhile once you start eating more, so here I have literally gained back like 15 lbs rapidly, which is fail.
I am losing weight right now too. And my plan is instead of doing weight lifting when i get to a lower weight, is to do massive aerobic type of exercises. Which I am doing those massive aerobic exercise right now to help lose the weight and to increase my cardiovascular ability. Maybe I will do a bit of upper body weight lifting, but that won't be my focus.
Of course for both you and me.. will all this suddenly make us attractive to women.. basically low chance. Like I was slim and in good shape in highschool and I still couldn't get a girlfriend.
But something that is important to me is the 'idea' that if I were to get in a bed with a woman I would be confident in my own body. I've been really fat in my life and its is horrible what it does to your self-confidence about your body, like just the idea if a woman was touching my body and it was all fat and like manboobs and like instead of my hips and stomach being relatively tight, all fat.
