I set my initial goal weight at something like 120lbs which I had been for a day and a half as a teenager.

By the time my low carb weight loss stopped I was a post-menopausal 135lbs, happily eating everything I wanted to eat, drinking moderate wine, and looking great in size 6. I didn't want to give up wine, 90% chocolate, cheese, and fruit, all of which would have been necessary for me to go lower. So, I adjusted my goal to 135lbs and declared I was in maintenance. That was 4 years ago.

IMO it's more important to find a way to eat that's sustainable (for you) forever than constantly white knuckling to doggedly pursue a number on a scale, which can backfire with eventual weight gain. If you feel healthy, like how you look, and are not hungry - you're there!
