Any tips for a once you hit that wall and trying to keep losing weight and building muscle.

Currently sitting at 186 and trying to lose this last 16 pounds so I can hit my goal.

Routine has consisted of:
Biking - hour in the morning and 45 at nights
Push-up - 5 sets of 20 in the morning and night
Dips - 5 sets of 10 in the morning and night
Walking - 5 to 6 miles while I'm at work most days.

what type of biking? leisure ride around town or spin bike? is your walking just about getting steps or you trying to exercise? IMO, it's more effective to get a 45-60 min power walk (hr hitting 70-85%) in than just walking randomly for miles during the day - for fat loss that is, of course it's good to move for general health.

i'm a fan of LISS, but your movement might be too leisurely, are you getting your HR up?

Spin Biking, I try to stand 45 seconds, sit 15 and go from there. With the steps I try to go hard for a hour when I get the chance, but mostly steps

How are losing weight and building muscle at the same time? That’s not really optimal/realistic in a short period.

How many cals are you eating per day? Macros?

aight, i do classes on my bike and i know that doing 1:45 worth of spin daily would be too much. you might be doing too much cardio. get your steps in with your walking and maybe just do one spin session but go hard at it (i'd suggest following a class - peloton app plug - as they're programmed to be more effective vs you hopping on the bike and freestyling). and of course the biggest piece - tighten up the cals
