Do I eat approx. 1 gram of protein for every pound i weigh now, or for what I want to weigh? For a month now I've been eating 160-170 grams of protein/day.

1 gram per lb of body weight whatever weight you are should suffice. Anything more is basically wasted anyway.
You are trying to lose weight without losing muscle. Protein is how you help do that.
