Context - 27m 184cm 98kg down from 125kg

Last August I ( 125kg ) started losing weight, it all happened really fast and by December I was 100kg.

For the most part from this time I was eating below 2000 calories and doing resistance training twice per week.

However since December I have only lost 2kg, and during this time I’ve also been walking 60,000 steps per week, still eating below 2k, closer to 1700 daily.

I just can’t seem to shift any more, my weight is fluctuating but remains the same net on average.

Am I in need of a maintenance break to recover my metabolism? I’m really struggling and I just don’t know where to go from here.

What are my options to break this plateau??

Hi all, been working as a mechanical CAD engineer for the last 4 years, got my degrees and went straight into work.

Before my degree I had considered going into the RAF instead but chose not too, however I’m now looking into it as an engineering officer.

How competitive are these spots? And how long can the application process go on for? I’m just trying to prepare myself and become educated on the matter, any info about the process would be appreciated.

So in August last year I weighed 120kg, and as of December I weighed 100kg
As of today I am at roughly 97 give or take a kg.
I’m 27 6ft tall- able to do 2 full body resistance training gym sessions per week.
I’ve been mostly fasting throughout this process, one meal a day when I get home from work.
But since December I have seen basically no loss, now some of this might be because I had a few drinking sessions and events where I would over eat but was mostly on track.

Now I’m trying to walk 60,000 steps per week in an attempt to kickstart the loss, as I want to drop another 20kg, but what else am I doing wrong here?

It may be possible I got sloppy with the calorie counting, I take accountability for that, and I’m trying to lock in again from now, but what other advice is there, and what other reasons can there be for the stall? ( other than me getting lazy )

For context I’m aiming for 1800 calories daily, 170g of protein and high carbs low fat going forward.
