Hey Vinny! You are doing so well! I'm sorry I'm not a "vet" but I hope I can help a little.
About the plateau, are you journaling your food and intake? Is it possible you are not eating enough or eating too much? With your workouts, you may need to make some adjustments. Are you doing a lot of weight lifting? You could also be at a point where you are reducing your body fat % and increasing your muscle mass which could mimic a plateau. Just a suggestion.
Whenever you get stuck, ju st go back and Look carefully at your food and exercise and make some changes, even just some little tweaks here and there ( ie cut out any late night snacks, etc if you have any)

Vinnymac,
Take from this what you will. You've already done amazingly with your sleeve.
When my weight loss slowed I reviewed what I was eating and realized the bulk of my protein was coming from soft sources like protein shakes, eggs, cheese, Greek yogurt, beans.
I changed to dense protein, mainly tender beef and seafood, and saw my weight loss resume and felt a lot of restriction. Dense protein fills you up with a small amount and keeps you full longer.
Limiting my carbs to less than 40 grams per day was also instrumental for my continued weight loss. When my carbs got too high my weight loss slowed.
I followed the plan my doctor gave me and lost 100% of my excess weight and have kept it off without a lot of effort.
1. Eat 600-800 calories per day when losing weight and 1,200 calories to maintain
2. Limit carbs to less than 40 grams per day
3. Eat 70-100 gram of protein daily
4. Minimum 64 oz. liquids daily
5. Regular exercise/physical activity
6. Track what you eat ( I use myfitnesspal.com to track calories, carbs, protein, etc.)
Review what you are eating and make appropriate adjustments. Cut out slider foods like bread, rice, potato, chips, carbs in general. You can eat slider foods all day long and feel no restriction.
Dense protein, limiting carbs and regular physical activity were responsible for me reaching my weight loss goal and maintaining.
Good luck,
George
