When to stop…?

5’4 - 25F - SW65KG - CW59KG - GW????

So on June 21st I had a wake up call. I finally realised id put on weight over the last few years since getting an office job. So I started to count calories and go into a deficit. Great!

Over the last few months I’ve steadily lost weight at about 600g per week. Last week, I hit my goal weight of 60KG… but didn’t really feel as satisfied as I thought I would. I said I’d go back to maintenance at 60KG and just stay there, but I’m now wanting to get to 55KG. I know I’ve lost weight because of the scales and my clothes fitting differently, but when I look in the mirror, I still see no difference.

When do you know when to stop? I’m already noticing some annoying things from weight loss, mainly just pelvis bones being uncomfortable, and starting to see ribs. I’m sort of aware that continuing to be in a 600kcal deficit is probably not the best, but a part of me feels very satisfied seeing the number on the scale go down.

I have a history of mental health challenges, and have had therapy in the past. I imagine the responses to this will just say something similar, but I’m just interested in others input, and when you knew when to stop?

Edit:

TDEE: around 2000kcal I think. I’m eating around 1400kcal on average. 6,000-10,000 steps per day with pretty simple calisthenics a couple times a week (push ups, planks, etc)
