You also might try varying the exercises you are doing. Your body will catch on to what you are doing really quick, and you will plateau. The interval training will help out, but you have to mix up the exercises, the time and the resistance. Doing longer amounts of cardio will help with the weight loss (total amount on the scale) but that may not be what you are trying to accomplish. Are you looking at just getting rid of the subcutaneous fat at your waist line, or are you trying to lose an certain # of lbs on the scale. Since spot reducing fat is not possible, and you sound like you've done some homework, my guess is you have a set of goals. If you have a copy of your avg workout on the computer, feel free to email me, I can provide some ideas.
It sounds like you are doing some of the right things, the timing just might be off. Pick up some more healthy calories, keep up with the high water intake (you should seriously be peeing every 10-15 minutes), and consider just doing some cardio you haven't done in a while (upper body cycle or rowing maching or Versa climber) and mixing in the interval with the long slower cardio.
Keep us updated with the progress
