What if I keep losing weight but never like how I look?

Yes, looks shouldn't be the primary motivation I guess, but I'm not ashamed to admit that that's a big part of why I wanted to lose weight. My number one reason for losing weight was perhaps the fact that I was really lazy and unmotivated when obese, and wanted to change my lifestyle, but I also wanted to look better, so that's probably a close second, tied with health reasons.

Right now I'm at 154 lbs, down from 210 lbs. For someone whose 5'9 I've heard this is in the ideal weight range, and yet I feel like I still have fat on my face, and a bit of a flabby stomach. With a shirt on I look fine, but when I'm in front of the mirror with the shirt off I still get so self conscious. I feel like all the places I've had fat before have gotten smaller but not really disappeared.

It's not all bad. I know I've gained more muscle since I'm getting stronger and my body looks more 'toned', and my waistline is certainly decreasing. However I still don't feel like I have the ideal body even though I'm supposed to be at my ideal weight. What should I do? Do I keep losing until some muscle and definition shows? Or is it all in my head?
