It's helpful to focus on your caloric intake. As you lose more weight, you will need to readjust your caloric intake to continue to lose weight, but keep in mind that it takes time. Don't be too hard on yourself.

I feel I am doing good with my nutrition, but I can keep up with my cardio goal, it is difficult to stay on a treadmill for so long.

Keep up the great work with your nutrition. As for the cardio, try doing something different. The best way to stay consistent is to do something you enjoy! It doesn't have to be done in a gym setting.

But during this weight loss phase, how do I make sure I am keeping my muscle and not losing everything I've gained?

Make sure that you are keeping your protein intake up; at least 1 to 1.5 grams per pound of body weight. Make sure that during resistance training you are training close to your physical limit so that your body knows to hold on to the muscle mass it has gained.
