Biggest contributor to weight loss

Hey Everyone,

So I (5'6, 158, 35) have been working out for maybe 6-7 years doing mostly strength training with some running sprinkled in. Got a proper coach for the first time in February since on my previous fitness programs, I basically did no progressive overload.

I have a desk job so I'm very sedentary. Also, I don't live in a 'walkable' city so my steps are probably 2-3k average a week. I do maybe 2-3 20 mins jogs a week but I've been injured for the last month so that's down to 0. My weight has been steadily creeping up with a 10 lb jump over the last year. I finally buckled and decided to track calories (last week) and protein (since February) based on advice from my trainer. I'm starting at 1600 calories and I have endo which may or may not affect weight loss.

Now I know weight loss isn't linear but I've always wondered why it's so hard for me to lose weight. I generally eat well, especially over the last 3 months or so and I haven't seen any changes. So I ask, for people who have lost weight, especially that last 10-15 lbs, what was the biggest contributor? NEAT, consistent tracking, workouts? Lemme know!
