With 40% carbs you have ALOT of room to start cutting - based on the info you've given - you are holding pretty steady at 15% over the last few months. If your diet & training have been consistent for that whole time, it would appear that its time to change up somethign to spur some sort of response.
Can you post up a detailed meal plan? I'd look at dropping the cal intake some and changing your ratios to more protein , less carb and see what happens. At 15 weeks I'd say you need to get ahead of the game and expect to have a challenge cutting your lower body down - its just pretty standard for women to have to fight the estrogen - so I'd start in w/ some cardio as well. Consider including some cardio in addition to your boxing (boxing is great for upper body shaping btw!). See how you respond to those changes - both with any changes in weight & bodyfat and also your energy levels. Cutting your carbs down may impact your energy levels if that is what you are used to but you need to find what spurs a response from your body. And its also just part of conditioning your body slowly towards your goal of show day. When you see the response in the above areas then you can start considering where to continually tweak.
It would be great to see your current meal plan - 3000 cals is a lot - but depends on your metabolism- I think you have room to cut. But do it gradually and then adjust the ratios so you aren't just continually cutting down your cals to nothing -the point is to get to the optimal total cals & ratios that let your body burn effectively for your training output.
