Plateau, what are the options?

Following

Try cheat hours (like 3-9pm) vs a cheat day, if your really must cheat. Alcohol can really derail weight loss, what’s that look like?

Add in more walks. Just random 10min walks even at work.

Try mixing up your macros carb/fat ratio.

How long have you been cutting and how much are you eating? You might need to build your maintenance calories back up a bit. Slowly add in more calories while maintaining the same weight for a few months. Nothing wrong with holding steady for a while and losing more weight later. It'll actually make it easier to keep it off long term

Ex if you're eating 2000 calories and not losing weight slowly add a few calories each week while being careful not to increase to the point that you're gaining your weight back (a couple lbs is ok). Maybe you get up to around 2500 calories and then you're able to lose weight at 2200 again

As you lose weight (fat) your calorie burned per activity is going to go down little bit. it'll take a little more effort to what felt like an equivalent caloric output at higher weight levels. Your body is going to make other adjustments as well.

So its good you recognized this. You need to sit down and recalculate your caloric needs, and required daily output of calories to reach your desired goal. a 100 calorie change per day might not seem like much but could mean the difference between slow loss, no loss, or slow gain.

Don't do cheat days, do cheat meals. an entire cheat day could literally washout an entire week of work on weight loss.

i am very much a numbers man and always advocate after every 2-3 months you should be redoing your metabolic need calculations and check your calorie tracking to make sure youre on point.
