I think if part of the deposit was titled a “Last Months Deposit” you can and should use it for your last month. But if it is called a security deposit or something like that, you are screwed.

A deposit is a security that you will leave the property in good condition. Regardless of how much of a deposit you paid, it is still a deposit and nothing else. If you’re stating that you over paid your deposit… this is something you should have worked out when you moved in, not 1.5 years later.
You can’t use any of your deposit towards rent. Look at the lease dealing with deposits, I’m certain it will spell this out.
