First time getting serious about my weight but I'm feeling very discouraged. Any advice??

(26 F - 5' 2" - SW 220, CW 199.8, GW 165)

Hey everyone! This seems like such a wholesome and friendly place, so I've come to ask you for advice! I'm feeling very out of my element and like a health baby 🥺

I've been overweight my whole life. I gained weight in college but was ignoring the issue until graduation/job-seeking/covid stress caused me to gain more weight than ever. In Jan I started tonbe serious about my weight and have started working out 6 days a week, getting 10k steps a day, and trying to stay in a -500 calorie deficit while eating healthier than I have in a long time.

I managed to lose ~15 lbs since (I'm coming to realize I have a binge/boredom/stress eating problem), which came with a lot of ups and downs. I was feeling good and healthier than I have in a long time! I even bought a size down in jeans for the first time in years.

However, I'm currently stuck around the 200 range (been about a week of +/- 2lb) and it's really starting to get to me. I don't really have a support system and when I talk about it with family or friends it gets brushed off, which is incredibly discouraging.

Does anyone have advice? I've been googling till my eyes are crossed but I'm trying to learn all of this from scratch and at the moment I'm feeling pretty low. I dont know if I'm over-exercising or under-eating or what I'm doing wrong. How do I break this plateau and continue with my weight loss journey??
