The most common suggestion is to base your weight on the BMI scale. Ideally you should be within the normal weight range, but if you have a physically demanding job or have been strength training for over 5 year the goal should be set based on body fat being within the normal range.

Plateaus like you are describing can be attributed to either eating around maintenance or the idea of "set points" in weight. If you continue eating at a deficit you'll eventually drop below that "set point". Sometimes I choose to maintain at a "set point" because it seems relatively effortless.
