How tall are you? How many calories, carbs, and grams of Protein are you taking in each day? What do you do for exercise?

Three months isn't a stall, it's maintenance. Unless there is something very weird going on, you need to cut down on your calories and up your exercise. If you haven't already, figure out precisely how many calories you are taking in each day and lower that by at least 200.

If you are very confident that you know precisely how many calories you are taking in (you are weighing your portions, tracking everything on MFP, not having "cheat" days or "treat" meals or taking little tastes and bites here and there) and your calories are below 1200 per day, you may want to check in with your medical team and/or get your resting metabolic rate tested.

Good luck!

Calories are likely your problem. At your age, height, and weight, you are consuming about the number of calories you would need to maintain if you are more or less sedentary.

If I were you, I'd schedule your appointment with your nutritionist and work with him/her to map out a plan for yourself. I'd also get back to journaling everything you eat and drink in a day.

Good luck!

Do you have "my fitness pal" app? You input you info, how much you want to lose and it will tell you how many calories you shouldn't excess to reach that goal. It tracks you carbs, calories, sugar, activity etc. it really is an awesome tool. Oh and I just got a $40 off coupon for under armour for posting my meals for 30 days! SCORE!

my NUT says that i should be around 1000 calories/day while im losing. We have very close BMIs right now so i have to agree with the others and say that you need to cut the calories down. good luck!

Generally the smaller, shorter, older you are the less calories you need. You definitely need to lower those calories to continue losing. I would suggest trying nothing but lean meats and veggies until you kickstart the weight loss again. Stay away from any forms of sugar, even sweeteners, until you've reached goal. Then have sparingly.

You've got this!
