My wife's blood test - need advice!

[Domeno]

My wife is 42, 136lbs, works out hard 6 days a week and can't lose body fat no matter what she does. She even did the HCG diet for 30 days and lost only 10lbs (went from 146lbs to 136lbs). She is a perfectionist and did the diet flawlessly. She's trying to get back down into her 120's and cut but it seems impossible for her. Her blood test (Genova Diagnostics):

Progesterone: 0.64 (scale 0.30-0.64 ng/mL)

Sex Hormone Binding Globulin: 114 (scale 18-114nmol/L)

Estrone Sulfate (E1S): 3.61 (scale 0.23-1.40 ng/mL)
Estrone (E1): 127 (scale 12-41 pg/mL)
Estradiol (E2): 91 (scale 20-90 pg/mL)
Estriol (E3): <80 (scale <= 80 pg/mL)

DHEA-S: 109 (scale 30-202 mcg/dL)
Testosterone: 0.29 (scale 0.04-0.62 ng/mL)
Free Androgen Index: 0.88 (scale 0.32-6.73)

2-Hydroxyestrone: 734 (scale 112-656 pg/mL)
16-Hydroxyestrone: 541 (scale 213-680 pg/mL)
2:16 Hydroxy-Estrone Ratio: 1.36 (0.40-1.40)

I thought her estrogen was really high. Could she just take Arimidex (0.25 ED)? Would that help her? or is there a better suggestion?

Any help is appreciated!
Thanks!

What's her diet like? I would hold off on playing chemist with her hormones just to drop ten pounds when she likely just needs to keep trying to push past this plateau.
If she did the hcg diet she has no idea how to cut bodyfat and she just messed up her metabolism by restricting her calories too much. If she went under 1000 calories a day on that diet (it's like 500 calories a day right?), then her poor body was trying to desperately hold on to ALL THAT FAT to use during her self-imposed famine. So she shot herself in the foot a bit.
Get her to join, and post up herself with all the stats:
Exactly what she eats each day broken down into Calories, Carbs, Fats and Proteins.
Height, age, weight, body fat %, and her current work out routines.
if she is a perfectionist that should be no problem for her. www.fitday.com is a free online diet tracker and it will do all the math for her to break her diet down.
At first glance, she is simply not eating enough to lose fat.
