Hey everyone I was looking for some advice. I'm a 20 y/o male, been overweight my whole life and I've finally decided that that's not happening anymore (6', 216lbs/98kg was my heaviest). I started exercising everyday (calisthenics & cardio on alternating days) and doing CICO about a month ago. I stopped snacking whatsoever, and more recently I've been delaying my first meal (like loose IF). This isn't my first go round with calorie counting or an exercise plan, but this is the first time I've really committed myself to doing it at least until I'm at a healthy weight, if not forever. Anyway, at first, I experienced incremental weight loss over time. Was it slow? Yes. But progress was progress and that was good enough for me. However, after losing about 4lbs/1.8kg my weight plateaued. I've been stuck at around 209lbs/95kg for about two and a half weeks now and I have no idea why. I've kept up the exact same exercise routine, and my eating habits haven't drastically changed from the start of this. My fitbit claims I'm burning 3000+ calories a day so even if I'm not counting calories perfectly I don't think it's probable that I'm not in a deficit (currently eating ~2000 calories a day). The only real things that have changed over this period is that I've been getting more sleep, which I started doing to try and help with the weight loss (avg 8+ hours a night and going to sleep at a fairly consistent time), and the pseudo-IF.
Can anyone think of a reason that I'd be plateauing? I've read that plateaus generally come after a few months, not one. Any tips for getting past this and starting to lose weight again? Thanks!
Edit: Included weight in kgs as well
