I also think that you don't need to lose more weight.  I am 5-8 and trying to get to 145 from 166 now.  You are probably over analyzing the way you see yourself!  Just try to eat healthy and maintain an active lifestyle.  1200 calories is not that much, it is probably hard to have the energy to be active.  Don't eat large meals, eat small amounts throughout the day starting FIRST thing in the morning to boost your metabolism.  During the day try to be more active - walking or taking the stairs as much as possible, etc.  If you need to study a lot maybe you could walk to different locations to study so you are not stuck in one area all the time.  If you pack yourself some healthy snacks you won't get tempted to stop for other foods.  And drink lots of water!!

I think I went to McD's once or twice in the last 3 years, but last Sept I decided to give up red meat and pork so now I see no reason to go there.  If I'm going to splurge on something its going to be a much higher quality food than some ultra processed meat and cheese.  I eat fast food once or twice a month and I will usually choose to satisfy a craving for Taco Bell (no beef though).  I do dream of eating a burger again someday - used to love a nice quarter pounder w/ cheese.  But I'm not sure when, if ever that will be.  I'm afraid my body would completely reject it.
