Weight loss plateau

Hey guys,

I am 5'8, 165 lbs male who leads a very active lifestyle. I do long hikes over the weekends, rock climbing over a couple of days, run a few days, yoga and bodyweight exercises. I keep trying to change my exercise schedule so that cardio and strength training remains interesting.

I have lost around 35 lbs over the last 10 months but have hit a plateau over the past 6 weeks. It probably had to do with the sweets coming in at the office during Halloween, Diwali and birthday cakes. I try to keep it to a minimum but I am not able to resist them completely. I have milk and oats for the breakfast everyday. For lunch I either take salad, but more often than not eat a little unhealthy with fried tofu or pasta or go to an Indian restaurant. I usually have some dry fruits during late afternoon and sometimes baked chips. In the evening after my activities, I am usually too tired to cook and again end up eating out. I don't drink all that often.

My target weight was 150 lbs and at 165 lbs I still have a bulging tummy and I hate it! I want to be at sub 10% body fat percent but as of now my Ozeri weight scale shows me at around 14.5%. Earlier I was very rigorous with eating only salad for lunch, drinking vegetable juice and cooking at home at night but now my motivation has gone down. It's probably because I feel pretty fit except for the weight. I have signed up for 1st Feb half marathon and now I desperately want to reduce my weight. I think I know what I need to do but I am failing to do it.

What do I need to do in order to get that discipline back in my diet?

Thank you.
