Losing off chest and hips help

So I have 13 more pounds to go to reach my goal. Everything is good except nothing is moving off my chest and hips. I have been doing body weight and some weighted exercises as well as walking and have managed to lose about 17 lbs. I realize I'm an hourglass figure and can't shake that but really shouldn't I be losing everywhere?

Current stats: 39 (30i) -27-39 , 123 lbs 5'5" 36 yo

Yes my goal is 110 lbs, I have a very small frame with hypermobility and this weight was determined after discussing it with my doctor.  The extra weight compressed the discs in my lumbar area by 2". I've got most of my height back and working on the last half an inch.   I have most of my strength back as well.  But the weight still on my chest and hips are making it hard to get my posture back in shape.  

I can't do really heavy lifting (45 lbs max) as I run the risk of dislocating something. Jogging and running are also out of the question until I get my chest size down a bit and can actually fit into a commercially made sports bra, though I would love to get back into it.     

Is there anything I can do to encourage the weight to come off in those areas? I just don't want to get to 110 and be told I have to lose even more :( I really do like eating and as a first time dieter, counting calories sucks.
