Do I need to stop losing?

Hey everyone! First off, big thanks to this sub, posts have been a huge motivation over the past few months. I (24M) am currently 6’3, 203lbs down from my start weight of 245lbs. My original goal weight was 190lbs to get into the normal BMI range. However, I recently got a DEXA scan after a month-long weight loss stall, and I came back at 12% body fat. If accurate, I’m happy with it, but the mirror test makes me think I’m higher since I don’t have visible abs. My BMI still says I’m overweight, but I don’t want to overdo the weight loss just to hit a number. Right now, I’m eating between 2000-2400 calories/day, lifting 5x a week, and doing some cardio and yoga when I feel up for it, but the scale hasn’t for the past month moved. I guess my question is whether I should keep cutting, drop calories, or switch to maintenance/ focus on muscle gain? Any advice or input would be greatly appreciated!
