Basically, the fats are coming from the flaxseed oil, flaxeseeds, eggs, and meats I'm eating. Flaxseed oil is obviously where most of the fat is coming from. If I take out the flaxseed oil, my percentage will go from 42% fat to 26% fat. If I keep just 1/2 Tbsp of FSO, it takes my percentage to 31%.

Keep the flax oil.
Are the flaxseeds whole or ground?
If the flaxseeds are ground, then there is no need for the oil. I would reduce the amount of oil.
Update:
I have appreciated all your advice and suggestions. Since then I have gone to 3x/wk of weights and I have increased the intensity of my weight training.
Should it really be this hard to lose fat? Agh! I've read that if you burn 3500 calories a week in excess of the amount of calories you've eaten, you will lose 1 lb of body fat. Well, I guess that theory doesn't work for me because I exceed that every week.
It's weird because for one reason or another, I will gain 2-3 lbs and have no problem losing it, but once I hit 125 lbs, it's like my body has set up a wall that I can't break through.
It shouldn't be this hard to lose the weight....should it? I eat right most of the time and I do some sort of exercise (cardio and/or weights) every day. A couple of years ago I was able to lose most of my weight with half the effort, but this time my body is just hanging on to it for some reason. Will being even more strict on my diet make much of a difference? Am I being naive in thinking that cheating on my diet plan a couple of times a week won't hinder my weight loss efforts? I can't be the only one that cheats...LOL
Has anyone else experienced this?

Give us EXACTLY what you eat everyday and EXACTLY what your workout routine is.

We can't give you any help unless you post your diet and training schedule. When I started on EF in Sept., I thought I had my diet down pretty well and was stuck at 125 myself.
As it turns out - I was eating a bunch of shit that I didn't think was shit and I've been training for 13 years. I was unaware that all the processed CRAP really DOES make a difference.
Post your diet - THEN ask the questions.
