Don't change your diet
Try to vary your food, to bring different sources of protein and carbohydrates to your body.
When you stop cutting and your body stops moving, it's time to change your diet. You've reached a plateau. Either you reduce your calories (especially carbohydrates), or you increase your cardio (the intensity of your training is harder to increase when you're drying out).
Not checking your progress
If you set out blindly, looking only at your mirror, you may make progress, but you may also get discouraged because you can't see the progress. It's normal not to see progress when you see yourself every day. The change from day to day is so small that you won't be able to see it. On the contrary, it will be others who tell you that you've changed.
The best way to be sure is to take your measurements every 15 days. Some coaches do this very well. Alternatively, you can ask someone else to measure you regularly. But be careful! Try to ensure that it's always the same person who does it, so that they take your measurements in the same way.
That way, you'll be able to see how you're progressing, you'll quickly see when you need to change your calorie intake and so you'll progress more quickly.
Lack of organisation
If you have to eat 6 times a day and you take the time to prepare each meal, you risk spending more time in the kitchen than in the dining room. Prepare your meals once a week and store them in Tupperware in the fridge.
All fats have the same calorie content
There are good fats and bad fats, as we've seen, but whether you eat butter or olive oil, it will always be the same number of calories per 100g: around 800 calories.
Don't think that if you eat good fat, it won't have an impact on your lean body!
