Stagnant Weight Loss, Advice/Encouragement Needed! - M/23/228

Hello gang!

So here's the sitch. The past month/month and a half I've been losing weight on average at around 2.9lbs per week which I consider a pretty good clip. However, in the past two weeks it has slowed down significantly. We're talking like 0.4 to no change at all. Basically I'm just wanting advice as to whether this is normal or if there is something wrong with my diet/exercise patterns.

Diet: I am completely plant based...lots of spinach, tofu, etc. I eat at a strict calorie deficit, my BMR/TDEE are 2,069 and 2,771 respectively and normally I'm eating around 1,500-1,700 calories a day. I avoid all heavily processed/sugary foods and do not drink soda/alcohol at all. Yes, before you even ask, my protein levels are just fine.

Exercise: I workout six days a week with Sundays as my rest day. Two days a week I work with a trainer for an hour doing body weight/strength training exercises. Two days I'm going Capoeira for an hour/two hours respectively. The other four days I am training for a triathlon so lots of cardio.

Now keep in mind that this is all extremely strict, I am borderline obsessive over fitness at this point. That's why stepping on the scale and seeing no change is frustrating to say the least. I'm obviously going to keep going but I have a good 30lbs to lose and dammit I need it to happen.
