    Calories sound too low for your size
    You are also eating FAR too little fat
    You should be at .4-.5g/lb--> 72-90grams per day
    You are only in the low 30s
    If I were you I would up to 200+g protein, 75+g fat, 2000 calories.
    Make sure you are doing plenty of compounds lifts to strengthen your core and ab exercises for definition.

    your body has no physiological need for carbs
    Hence I suggesting what you should need as far as protein, fat and calories
    Get in your protein and fat first, then add in whatever else you want to hit your calorie mark
