All right, then. I have lost about six pounds so far, but it seems like the loss is slowing down. Maybe I need to reduce the carbs a bit? I am currently taking in about 2000-2200 cals, about 100 grams of carbs on off days, and 150 on workout days. The thing is that my strength is going up at a record rate. My shoulder problems are gone, and I can bench again, after two years of not benching at all. I even got a new personal best yesterday. Should I adjust my diet, or give it another week to see what happens?

NO! do not decrease carbs, if anything you should increase them.

I eat 160g carbs as a base: 2x oatmeal and 2x brownrice, add 1x 40g dextrose PWO for lifting days. Go high on some days 200-300g carbs. I've gotten so much better results with this now than ever before. Just make sure your eating is clean and your calories are where they should. Low-carb = water loss, Medium-carb and calorie deficit = fat loss

Okay. I will keep it the way it is, maybe increase the carbs a bit then. I guess I shouldn't be complaining either way, with my training results being as good as they are right now.
