    Keep pushing forward, changing things up, trying new stuff. Plateaus are just part of the journey.

    When I hit a plateau last time, I ended up just eating a little but more. I wasn't counting calories so dont know if I was under eating or not. But the weight continued downwards x

    This. Weight loss is not linear. Besides, water and food/poop can mask fat loss especially if you're close to your goal or have been eating at a deficit for a while.
