Plateaus are 'challenging' to deal with. Your body's metabolism adapts to your new caloric intake, and establishes a new metabolic level to maintain a new current weight relative to your intake -- the principle of homeostasis. Every time this happens, you have to jolt it to restart the weight loss ... which your metabolism then readjusts to and then maintains a new body weight ....

Adding physical activity usually is the faster way to restart weight loss -- increase caloric demand whilst holding caloric intake steady.
Lowering caloric intake can do the same thing, but much more slowly, as your metabolism has already been 'alerted' to deal with lowered intake levels.
