You should get to level 60 on second playthroughs AFTER the first level 50 break of course 
It is possible to hit level 60 in two playthroughs
without breaking the level cap of 50 for your fist time...When I re-started playing last year I had been told it would take 3 times, but I was determined to do it in 2 - from the get-go.
So, what I had to do was complete every single mission and side-mission, play on the hardest difficulty the game allows (they unlock as you progress), and kill everything on foot. Nothing was ever killed by the Mako...not one single Geth.
Now, I will say that I had the Asteroid DLC...because it was so much fun, and that does get you quite a bit of exp. However, I hit level 60 waaaaay before Ilos, so it may not have even been a factor. But I do has a secret ;-). For the quest that requires going to Earth's Moon (to destroy the evil AI), do some extra exploration before you leave. If I remember correctly there are like 6 or 8
additional gun turrents in random places on the surface. Each one is 1,000exp a piece on foot. Thats where I got level 60 ;-)
