Plateau advice

I’ve lost 40 lbs over the past 14 months (F 5’8” CW 158, age 58). I have always been muscular with a larger frame, so I don’t plan to lose more than 5-10 lbs. I’d be content at my current weight.

I track calories and work out 5-6 days per week, strength training and 30 min cardio. My current daily calorie goal is 1470, which is a 500 cal deficit. Thus far, weight loss has been pretty effortless. However, over the past 8 weeks I’ve hit a stubborn plateau. And over the past week or so, I’ve been unusually hungry. I’ve tried eating an extra 100-200 cals, but it’s persistent. I’ve been at a 500 cal deficit for the past 14 months.

Is my calorie count too low? Should I eat at maintenance for a while? Any advice is appreciated!
