Down on myself after doc visit

I'm 40F, 6'1, SW 261, CW 236. I've been on zep for 12 weeks, currently at 4mg.

I lift weights regularly and keep up my protein, and, BMI aside, I feel like I've gone from muscular and fat to muscular and chunky. I've lost 25 pounds but had no muscle loss since week 4.

When I visited my doctor, he said he was disappointed with my weight loss and I need to cut my calories. I'm already keeping myself to 1200-1400 per day, but he says that, as a woman, I should only have 1000-1200.

Is averaging a little over 2 pounds per week really that lackluster? I'm over 6 feet tall, a thousand calories in a day sucks even with the support of the injection. I can't imagine keeping up my weight lifting schedule on that.

I guess I'm just writing this to whine. I walked in to the doctor feeling pretty good and left dejected.
