Same for me with eliminating carbs; combining keto + IF is pretty effective and I've lost about half of the weight from ATH to where I want to be through it. IF is nice because it provides an "all or nothing, but not forever" restriction, and keto is a reasonable framework for food selectivity. Keeping enough protein for not losing muscle and overall ideal; I wish I'd done this when I was 16 and not when I was in my 40s.

I’m in my 50s and I will tell you that your metabolism changes. I was on strict low-carb and I hit a wall in terms of weight that I couldn’t get past. When I did low carb in my 30s I easily lost about 40 lbs but this time around I maxed out at 20 lb weight loss and couldn’t push it further.
Have you tried cutting out PUFAs as well? Check out the Croissant Diet:

No guarantee that it'll work (I haven't tried myself) but seems like a thing that could help you.
