It's natural that the lighter you are, the harder it is to lose weight. Fat isn't just passive — it actually increases your energy requirements to support it, so that on a constant calorie diet your weight loss will slow down as you lose weight.
Exercising will also increase your muscle mass, but this is probably a good thing, within reason. Muscle is also denser than fat, so you look slimmer at a given weight if more of it is muscle.
It sounds to me like you're doing really well, and that you're doing all the right things. That the loss is slow is probably a good thing. Even if your rate slows a little more, you should be where you want to be in no more than another three months.
As for me: I'm still hovering three kilos or so above where I want to be. I think I might actually need to do a little exercise. Ugh.
