Lost 12 lbs after gaining 45lbs due to bipolar medication. 30lbs more to go.

I started my weight loss journey for the second time in my life after gaining 45 lbs due to Risperidone, a medication I am on to treat my bipolar disorder. Have lost 12 lbs (5.4 kg) since May by keeping my calories under 1500. I currently weigh 187 lbs (84.7 kg) and am 5' 10". The first time I was on weight loss diet was over an year and half ago when I measured calories in each ingredient and recipe and was successful in losing weight. This time around I had a rough idea of what calories look like and was mainly doing portion control and eye balling. I still plan my meals and have a calorie target. The other thing I have been doing is walking about 15000 steps a day. One thing I am guilty of is measuring my weight everyday, even multiple times a day. Does anyone else do this? Should I stop that?
