Also, keep an eye on the protein, seriously you should log what you are eating in a tracker like fitday.com.

I am doing something very similar, started at low 140's and used VLCHF (very low carb high fat) to lose back down to 130. I am at 134 right now, waiting for the wooosh.

But seriously, your body will merrily convert excess protein to sugars to fuel itself on a sugar-burning-metabolism because it's evil like that. Make sure you are keeping your protein lower, no more then 70-80 grams or so. Otherwise, you will stall out, zone of misery style.

And it is VERY EASY to over consume protein without even realizing it. I don't intend to worry about it when I start maintaining, but for weight loss, I am watching it like a hawk.
