Advice on plateau

Hey guys! I'm 17M 5'10" and 187lbs. I started my weight loss journey at 240lbs, and it's been relatively smooth sailing until about the last two months. I was losing about 2-3 lbs per week previously but that has dropped to about 0.5lbs per week for the last two months.

I work out 6 times per week. My workout usually consists of 1 hour of targeted strength training and 30-45 minutes of cardio. 1-2 times per week I will go on an additional run for about 2 miles. I have been sticking to 1,700 calories per day (plus I eat back about 3/4 of exercise) and aiming to hit about 150g protein (although I rarely hit that goal) religiously and only go over my calorie limit by about 200 calories once a week. The calorie burn that my Garmin Forerunner watch is measuring seems realistic and is always lower than what the machines at my gym report, so I would be surprised if that is the issue. I don't have the most consistent sleep schedule (lately I've been sleeping from 11pm to 8am) but I am pretty good at abstaining from night time snacking.

So, maybe it's not a plateau per se, but it feels like I should be losing weight a bit faster. Am I doing something wrong? If anyone has advice to overcoming a similar situation it would be greatly appreciated.
