Protip: it's probably not muscle gain slowing your numbers. That's a common delusion among weight trainers, but muscle gains are rarely fast enough (20 in a year is astounding) to offset fat loss on the scales. It's a little white lie making you feel better but impairing your results.
You need to find the real reason you are plateauing. I'd suggest varying calories between 15*BW and 11*BW. (BW in pounds)
That's 2700 and 2000 for the moment. Vary as thus:
2700, 2700, 2700, 2000, 2000, 2000...
If you feel your metabolism is healthy, then do this each week:
2700, 2000, 2000, 2000, 2700, 2000, 2000
Yes, macronutrients do count. Slow-digesting carbs with protein up until noon, then protein with fats (especially the good fats) until a few hours till bed.
Some say breakfast should be the largest meal, but I think the study providing the foundation for this claim is ill-done, but try it.
