Weight Reduction review

I think i hit a plateau at 185 lbs (84kg). Cant seem to reduce it. The weight keep coming back to this mark. I gonna change my training starting on 24th Nov and do two tempo run and two easy run on mid week and one long run on weekend for the rest of Nov and Dec.

Hopefully i can overcome the plateau and hit 170 lbs by the end of Dec.
