Shake up Your Diet

You may be in a rut food-wise, eating the same food day after day. Not only does this lead to boredom and potentially overeating again, it will get your body used to becoming efficient at digesting certain foods. Switching to different foods may just help you to break off your weight loss plateau. Try adding different fruits and vegetables to your food routine, or change your eating schedule around, have 3 large meals instead of 6 small ones or vice versa. If you eat throughout the day, you keep your metabolism going throughout.

Add Strength Training to Your Exercise Routine

If you add some resistance or strength training to your routine you can get that scale moving again, because adding muscle mass increases the number of calories our bodies burn every day. You don't need to join a gym for this. You can use inexpensive lightweight dumbbells, even make your own out of water bottles for example. If you don't want to end up looking like the Hulk, you may want to use smaller weights and do lots of repetitions with those. Push-ups, squats, step-ups etc. need no equipment at all and won't make you looking bulky either.
