I started dieting January 1st with 18% body fat and was eating around 1400 calories where I ended up getting stuck at 9.2% for 3 weeks, so 3-4 weeks ago I upped my calories to 1639 73Fat/102carbs/143prot and lost all the way to 8.6% BF, i did not change a thing and it jumped right back up to 9.2% where i continue to be stuck. Can someone tell me where I'm going wrong and why I've hit the wall?? Thank you

First and foremost I'd urge you not to change anything just because your fat loss has stalled for 2-3 weeks. Fat loss isn't always linear--sometimes you'll find you don't lose anything for a couple of weeks, then suddenly you'll drop a few pounds almost overnight.

Are you not training legs?

You may want to lower your reps--8-12 is probably a better rep range.

If you want to gain muscle, you are not eating enough protein. Im a 135lbs and I eat between 150-200 grams of protein a day. From your list, it looks like you are eating around 100 grams at best. By upping your protein, you will start building more muscle. More muscle means a higher metabolism and will probably help you over your body fat plateau.
