It is normal for the metabolism to slow down on any diet or calorie restriction. This is all due to metabolic adaptation. You've been on the same diet / eating the same calories for months. While the metabolism will slow a bit on any diet it does not and should not have to lead to extreme calorie deprivation and hours of cardio.

It also looks like you're not getting enough fats in your diet. The body also has a built in adaptive response to chronically low dietary fat intake. When the body senses an extremely low intake of fat it will naturally try to hold on to body fat stores and fats are now at a premium. Taking in moderate amounts of fat will ensure that calories are low enough for fat loss, but the body does not perceive it as starvation. Take fish oil at least.

I recommend you take a full diet break of about 10 - 14 days where you eat roughly at maintenance, then return back to dieting. Sounds like you deserve one if you've been strict this whole time.

Here's a more detailed explanation on why you should take a break : http://www.bodyrecomposition.com/fat-loss/the-full-diet-break.html
