the first big loss is often water retention, thereafter the numbers do get a bit lower. just be consistent - slow and steady is better over the long term for keeping it off.

Try to keep the most calories you can and give it some more time

You're so close just carry on and you'll get there - it's anew way of thinking about food

Well done on your progress! I agree with Shereen - just keep doing what you're doing and you should get there, but if you don't see any progress after a couple of weeks you could lower your calories to 1600, but I wouldn't go any lower than that. All the best!

First well done on your progress. You’re doing great ! I’d say restrict carb consumption to mornings and maybe smart carbs such as oats or quinoa. I find that a long run (1 hour) does wonders for the scale and Water retention especially when you reach a plateau ( if this is possible for you) or a long walk.. Sometimes if I stay the same weight too long I ll have a cheat day ( within reason) and it seems to reboot my metabolism when I reduce calories again. Everyone of course is different, but just sharing what has worked for me. From someone who managed to gain 26 kg in 9 months and lose all of it in 9 months ( pregnancy1)and currently doing it again ( pregnancy 2).

Congratulations Emily!
What worked for me that might help is finding out your BMR, and restrict your calorie intake to that. Whatever you burn extra will contribute towards your calorie deficit and weight loss.
All the best and don’t stop trying

Well done Emily! That’s great progress. You wouldn’t need to reduce calories. Rather increase your activity level so you burn more. It’ll keep your metabolism going strong. Just make sure you’re getting the correct amount of protein for your body weight especially if increasing activity. 🌻
