I've hit a weight loss plateau, i was 185 and i lost about 20 pounds so i'm around 165 now. what can i do to continue losing weight? i'm 5'6 male

New strategy. : We break through weight loss plateaus by changing our strategy. Tweak the diet (not necessarily fewer calories, but different foods or eating schedule). Change up the exercise routine (different cardio, weights).
