@mcgeehin good news that you’re so close to your goal!
A few ideas:
try upping your calories for a few days. Sometimes a change will trigger your body into going out of the mode it is in.
Meticulously track your calories to ensure you’re on the deficit you want to be on. At least until you are confident on it.
Be patient. Sometimes losing strategy last bit won’t come for a while. Give it time.
Accept that maybe this is where you should be. It could be perfect weight for you.
Recalculate your calorie needs based on your new weight. It may be different now that you weigh less.
Make sure you’re drinking enough water and eating protein
Go to a higher dose even though that may not be your desire right now. Switch back down when you meet your goal.
Good luck to you on your journey!
