I was told I am not losing weight fast enough and now I feel terrible

so I need to vent because I am losing my mind and feeling pretty fat now. I have this co-worker who considers himself a health guru even though he is far from it. Today we were talking about stuff and he said to me "You eat sort of healthy how come you are not losing weight fast enough" at which point I was like "Whoa???" and he mentioned that my hips are too wide.

Now, i have lost went from 73 to 58 kg since April this year. I know it is not much but this pace works for me. I have dropped 3 jean sizes and my current one is getting a bit too loose as well. My sweaters, and cardigans and blouses went to tight, or doo not fit at all to loose fit. I went from my bra being a torture device to it being perfect, to it now being loose. I am literally touching my hipbones. I touch bone. With no pressure. There is not much thinner i can get at my hips they are just wide for some reason and I will never be super slim or skinny. I have gotten used to that. I do need to loose some more weight and tone down my thighs but that is it. Sure, I stopped losing for 3 weeks when I quit smoking because I did allow myself some decadence, but nothing crazy. I also quit drinking when I decided to start losing, so I am also clean from that.

This guy is now telling me that I should stop eating lentils, beans, salmon, liver, potatoes, rice and should only eat raw over the holidays. In my country those things except for the salmon are pretty traditional, so do I tell my family who I haven't seen for a year to fuck off? On top of it he is an anti-vaxxer, so even when I am typing this I am wondering why it is affecting me so much, because he also said me using pain killers for period pain is a result of my diet not being good enough and that he stopped having back pain when he changed his diet. Yes because back pain and period pain are the same thing! No difference!

I hate that it is affecting me so much, but the reason that is is that I am coming back to my family from Eastern Europe and they will say how what I have lost is good, but I need to loose more and the guy is Eastern European, so maybe it just made me realize the comments I will get. But jeez, way to invalidate almost 9 months of progress.
