Plateau or body recomp? Weight loss from lifting

Hi everyone,

I’d love some help in trying to see what’s going on. I’ve been eating between 1600-1800 (100-130 grams of protein) calories a day for the past month and half and my weight hasn’t moved from 195 -192. I can’t get it to move out of this band. However, at the same time I power lift 3 times a week and walk 10k steps a day.

So my initial thoughts are either: 1)I have some how found the perfect balance of doing a body recomp - my lifts are going up very very minimally, but I’m exhausted each day. I’m also new to lifting so it could be my body building up a baseline.

2) I’m messing up my calories and eating at 2500 which would be around maintenance because of the working out.

3) Any other option I’m missing?

If anyone has any insight or things to try, please let me know!

Thank you,

Edit: height is 5’10.
