Weight loss has Stalled
After the surgery you get about two years of honeymoon. Weight comes off and stays off.
The body figures out that it is being starved and learns how to absorb calories again.
The only way to lose weight now is by eating less calories than you burn. Multiply your desired weight by 10. That is how much you can eat and maintain. Example for 150 pounds, eat 1500 calories a day.
Subtract 500 calories to lose one pound a week. In one year you will have dropped the 50 pounds.

Real life begins where your comfort zone ends
You are eating the number of calories your body needs to maintain. Follow White Dove's suggestion or track a usual day and subtract 500 calories from that amount. Weigh/measure your portions and track every bite if you really want to lose the last 50. You can do it, but it will take hard work.
