anyone have any advice/experience on the “back half” of weight loss?

happy new year! I’ll try to explain without giving my whole life story.

basically i’ve always been a little overweight. always wanting to lose 20-30 lbs but never being able to commit and follow through.

then my dad died, and my habits spiraled into terrible BDE and i gained 40-50 lbs, putting me just over 200 at 5’5.

over the past two years i’ve lost 50 lbs steadily and healthily, mainly through CICO and the gym when it was open.

but now i’m back at my “starting” weight from years ago, around 150, the very spot i had trouble with in the past. my goal weight is around 125-130. honestly it feels like the first 50 lbs were “easier” in that i was so overweight before, once i started even the bare minimum of healthy habits it started coming off. but energy requirements decrease the more weight you lose so i feel like now what i’ve been doing won’t be enough. my goal weight feels more like a mythical concept than a concrete possibility.

did anyone else hit plateaus or have more difficulty the closer they get to their GW? is there a way you overcome it or any tips you know of? i’m honestly at a loss and just don’t want to continue stuck in this spot.

thanks for reading!
