I aim for 100g of protein per day, and a balanced diet of fruits, veggies, proteins (chicken, fish/seafood, eggs, yogurt, milk). I eat little added sugar, and don’t eat any processed carbs until a small portion with dinner (1/2c rice or similar). I have essentially dropped alcohol, although not intentionally, more because I haven’t wanted to “waste” calories on a drink.

I’m still about 20 pounds above my goal weight. But the scale has barely budged in the past month (2 weeks in a row it actually went up, but has since gone back down leaving me about net neutral gain/loss for the past 4 weeks). I haven’t noticeably changed any habits. I haven’t skipped a day of food intake tracking, I haven’t changed what I’m eating. I’m exercising the same (I mainly take walks and do yoga). I’m about 10 years post menopausal so I’m not having any hornonal fluctuations related to that.

I’d appreciate any tips for getting past this plateau.

Too much carbs still unless that 1100 calories excluding protein is mostly all from fat, which going by the foods you mention, it is not.

Either adjust carb intake way down, or exercise way up for a while to kickstart things again.

this is bad advice (esp given how little info op has given about her diet)

If you don't know anything about nutrition and exercise, why are you here?

Keto works, but it’s not the only holy grail diet.
