    People keep asking you about the deficit, because you are the one who tells MFP how much you want to lose. So by saying you don't have a clue, that's not very helpful to any of us trying to help you.
    That said, it seems you have found your maintenance level. You lost weight up until now, and have held the same. If you are seeing improvements in body composition, you are in the process of a recomp. If you want to continue losing weight, you're going to have to eat a little less.

    If you're doing CrossFit 5 days a week, then you have likely gained a lot of muscle and lost fat. As you know, muscle weighs more than fat. If your clothes fit better and your muscles are more defined, you should worry less about the number on the scale. It's difficult to do after a lifetime of focusing on that number, I get it. I've been doing CrossFit for the last 4 years and my weight hasn't changed that much. However, my body looks and feels totally different due to fat/muscle ratio.

    No. No, that's not what has happened at all. You don't put on muscle fast enough to outpace fat loss.
