First of all, you need the carbs to fuel your muscles, if you're working out so much. While your diet sounds good, it needs to be a good balance between carbs and proteins, otherwise you could actually be starving your muscles of needed fuel stores.
Secondly, following the same workout routine only maintains your current fitness level. You need to change things up and challenge yourself to see any change on the scale. It's like running at the same pace and distance every day and wondering why you never improve. There's not enough time for recovery, and not enough variety to challenge yourself, so you just stay where you are.
Finally, have you consulted your doctor? Focusing on losing those last 10 "vanity" pounds might not be in your best interest healthwise; it really depends upon your overall physical health at whatever age.
