Just for some background, this time last year i was nearly 130kg, the heaviest I have ever been. I started keto and basically crash dieted my way to 91~kg without working out, eating not much at all and barely cheating. I was very happy with my weight loss but I plateaued. I decided I wanted to come off keto at the beginning of December, which immedietely let to me putting on around 10kg over December (I ate pretty bad), so started off this year at around 100kg. I decided i want to try to put on some muscle and approach a more sustainable way of losing weight where I can have a more healthy relationship with food, I found keto to be bad for my social life and didn't think it was something I wanted to stick to forever.
I have been working out since new year and strictly counting calories at 1800 a day and eating in an 8 hour window but am still 100kg. I weigh all my food and count macros to ensure I am getting enough protein. I do have the occasional cheat meal/day but I still account for all the calories, but to my knowledge I should be losing weight as my maintenance is around 2800-3100 a day. I feel there is something wrong and not really sure where to start, the conflicting advice online has left me stumped for my what my best approach is. Should I just restrict calories more? Should I start eating at maintenance again to try and 'reset' my metabolism, then slowly reduce? I have heard these methods are idiotic and that fasting is the way, and I've heard that calories in calories out is the only method etc. Any help would be greatly appreciated, I have done a lot of research but it seems the more I do the more confused I get.
