Hi and thank you so much for this query.
I must congratulate you on the efforts you have put in to cut down tis much on your weight. Please, can you provide your height for us to know whether you real need to cut down some more weight or not by looking at the BMI? 151lbs to me seems acceptable for most persons. No one would consider surgery in your case to loss weight because the inconveniences and risk far surpass the benefits. Diet and regular exercise as you must have discovered are the best kept secrets to controlling your weight.
I hope this helps. I wish you well.
