I'd cut out the bagles and peanut butter, her carbs and fat seem a little high. Maybe she could replace the bagle with some cottage cheese or plain fat free yogert?

A before bedtime meal of Cottage Cheese, Fats + Glucophase XR is a killer combination so far on my cut. I know it's helping me burn fat during the evening. But I fear this works better for recomping then just losing weight (although I'm guessing it will work great for both)
I'd suggest training 3x per week and moving cardio sessions up to 5-6x per week. This will cause her to burn more calories then she is now.

It know its a female obsession more than a male one, but please don't forget that muscle weighs more than fat, due to a higher density. She may be getting leaner, but the scales can go up. If she wants to see results, try taking a bf% and working on that, or take measurements of her hips, thighs and stomach. Watching these decrease will mean more than a pound or two on the scales.
130lbs of a muscular female and 130lbs of an inactive one are not the same thing at all.
