Are you the person on the profile picture? 42% seems to be way to high, that's morbidly obese kind of body fat. Maybe you should have a measurement elsewhere. Independent of this, do you eat enough proteins?

Don't get too clever with your calorie counting. If you really cant cope with your goal, set it higher.

I don't have direct help, but I can tell you it's a bad idea to try to trick yourself with little psycho tricks. Even if they would work, they only do if you don't know that they are applied. Applying them to yourself comes down to willpower, never rely on that, its a very limited resource.

Do whatever feels right for you.

As long as you get all the nutrients you need, there is no problem in eating that amount of calories (as long as your body fat percentage is not too low). I know the problem. Yesterday I had 133 Grams pro protein just with food. Cottage cheese is tasty with vegetables. 100 grams of it has ~12 gram protein, that's a lot.…

Inner body fat will accumulate with age, even if you are fit and healthy - you can't change it. That's why the "normal" amount of fat is rising.

The problem is, that you cant change it. While it would be better to have less, you can't change the fact.

Like the others said: water. You can easily store 2kg of water, or even more, in a short time. There are several reasons for that like salt, hormones, also exercise. Another important reason for storing water is malnourishment, not only with vitamins, but also with protein. You are exercising a lot, eat at least 1.5 to 2…

Normally you should be able to see weight loss from the first day on. 1kg of human body fat has 7000kcal if you save around about that amount of energy, you lose 1kg of fat plus the water that is bound by it. If your body needs more energy than food is providing, he will use your fat. But there is a catch. First of all its…

Obviously you will lose weight if you don't eat, or eat much, for 5 days a month, without overeating a lot in the other days. But if you eat too much all the other days, it's useless. Let's say you have deficit of 2000kcal a fasting day, for 5 days, that's a 10.000kcal deficit, which will mean you lose ~1,4kg of fat plus…

Sounds like you've got a little problem with alcohol.

Weight Watchers does not have a better track record than any other sold diet. That's why there is not reason to usw. WW over MFP.

That's true, but the use you get out of the body fat scale is not an accurate percentage, but a way to see change. btw calorie counting also isn't accurate. The caloric information of food can be off by up to 25%, around about the same with burned calories. Everything we can work with is an estimation, but it still works…

You also should track your body fat percentage. Your weight alone is not a good assessment, especially when you are now starting with weight training. It's possible to lose fat and gain the same weight back as muscle. Then you don't lose weight. But if, at the same time, the amount of fat in your body is dropping, you are…

Maybe it's not a plateau at all. It's very usefull to not only control your weight, but also your percentage of bodyfat. You will need that additional information anyway, because you not only want to have a good BMI, but also a good amount of bodyfat, to avoid being skinny fat. So what I would do in your situation, is to…
