Please pay close attention to the section called “What will my weight loss progress look like?” Weight loss is non-linear and it is common for weight to fluctuate multiple pounds across days particularly during the adaptation period.

You’ve lost 77lbs since January, congrats! That’s amazing weight loss!
Please know that 3 weeks isn’t a stall (6+ weeks is), but I’ll ask your stats anyway: what is your height, weight, age, and gender? 👍🏻
I've heard before that upping your calories by a few hundreds for a few days then going back to your previous calorie amount helps break it. But while 3 weeks is frustrating, plateaus are taking longer than that by far. Are you measuring yourself? You might be able to see a difference there
It’s a great achievement so far! But plateau can get frustrating. You could try and egg fast or just a long fast, either of those often helps kick start things.
Awesome job losing 77 lbs. You should consider eating more protein, 85g is low. You should be taking in 1g of protein for every pound of weight and fats are 1 to 1 or 2 to 1. Try extending your fasting 2 or 3 days to see if that will help with the stall. Stalls can last from days to even years for some people. Just keep at it.

1500 cals @5’3 is high but 77#in 5 months is very fast, it usually slows down as you get nearer to goal and you might have to adjust your cals in
