Yes, my wife has similar stats and i got her eating hi protein moderate carbs and low fat. Shes just started a few weeks back and is down a few lbs. I have her eating 10/11 cals per lb. she does classes and cardio at the gym 3-4 days per week. maybe some of the ladies will chime in soon.

weight around the waist on a woman tends to point to insulin resistance problems ...
I have four kids and didn't see any midsection fat until after my third baby when insulin resitance probs arose

I tend to go with high protein, high fat (healthy fats!), and as close to zilch for carbs as possible with a little carb binge which I call a carb up ..but is really code for binge about once a month
I bet you can guess what time of the month that might be


I do heavy weight lifting with as little cardio as humanly possible

Maybe have her flip that a little bit? Have her lifting heavier--more muscle mass will increase her metabolism and maybe do less cardio. Maybe 3 days steady state cardio, to preserve muscle gains but encourage fat loss. Just a suggestion. Everybody's different.

I am going with figurechamp on this one. Lift heavier and a little less cardio!!
