Would it be good to get professional help?

Hi, guys! Still very new on reddit so once again apologies if I mess anything up.

CW: eating disorder mention

I started getting serious about weight loss January of last year, and honestly I kind of played it by ear for the most part, which while it did involve having healthier habits, also involved quite a bit of unhealthy stuff too. At the same time as I started to exercise more I also very severely restricted my calories without thinking about the quality of foods I was eating.

This has kind of come to a head now. I’m about 9kg away from my goal, and I’m so desperate to reach it before summer that I think I maaaaybe have developed a bit of, an eating disorder. I’ll go a week on 900 calorie diets then go back to 1000-1500 when I start feeling weak and dizzy (I should mention pre-quarantine I lifted weights 3x week and did heavy cardio 4x). On days when I go out to eat I’ll binge because of how hungry I am. I was thinking about seeing a nutritionist who could help me with a tailored meal plan to help me lose the rest of the weight, as I’m honestly at a loss for what to do to stay on track.

It was really easy to lose weight when if I ate even 2000 calories a day I’d still be losing weight, but now that I’m at a healthy BMI it’s getting harder to see the progress. Also, I’m not even sure if a nutritionist is what I should be looking for, or if it should be a PT or some kind of life coach lol
