For that headache, more salt and water, or a tastier salted broth mid morning and afternoon. With more studies around long term ketosis, mainly by Virta, we are learning the depth of color on a pee strip does not mean you will lose more weight, just that you are spilling more ketones. Could be you have increased dietary fat. The longer you are LC, the fewer ketones even though have continued weight and health improvements.

Since your plan is "general low carb" it is difficult to make suggestions, but consider counting total carbs, not net, no more than 20g, and Measure any added fats, 2T cream, 3 cups veg, etc. Contrary to the "internet keto" gurus, classic low carb like Drs. Atkins, Westman, Bernstein all limited added fats, not add gobs of it to coffee. Carb creep, and fat creep, is real...and if that is the case you are not "stalled" because you are not following whatever plan you began with. January is a good time for a fresh start. All the best,
