Hi there,
For workouts... I would change it up to 3 full body workouts per week. What other forms of cardio are you getting?... Or are you only swimming? Swimming is great for joints and is a good source of long slow cardio, however to burn the fat you'll want to crank up the intensity a notch.
I would try to increase calories a bit. You may have stopped losing weight because you have sent your body into "starvation mode" by not eating enough calories. Sometimes when you don't eat enough calories your body thinks it is starving and decides to hold on to all sources of fat (energy) to survive. What about something like this for you diet:
Meal 1: Tuna, oatmeal, fruit
Meal 2: Yogurt, 2 low fat cheese sticks, veggies
Meal 3: sweet potato, chicken (I would be careful with having a ton of tuna as it is high in mercury), green veggies
Meal 4: fruit, 5 eggwhites +1 whole egg, nuts or nut butter
Meal 5: veggies, protein
Meal 6: veggies, protein
