Am I gaining muscle as fast as I'm losing fat?

As the title says the past 2 months I haven't lost weight like I was when I first started, I understand it won't fall off like it would when I was at my heaviest but the past 2 months I've been stuck at 185lbs, with no change in diet but a more intense workout.

A bit of context Im 6ft tall 30 years old and been about 165-175lbs the majority of my adult life around 2 years ago lost my job and gained roughly 70lbs and at my heaviest I was 249, in April of this year I started getting my life back on track and being active again with pretty consistent weight loss, I mostly focused on watching my calories and getting back into my hobbies with mild workouts focusing on cardio. I'm now down to 185 and very happy with my results but I hit a plateau and decided to increase my workouts in October but the scale reads the same basically every day.

Am I just gaining muscle at roughly the same rate I'm burning fat? I can visually see a different in with a flatter stomach and smaller thighs and clothes are becoming baggier in comparison to 2 months ago, but I mostly just want to make sure I'm not going crazy.
