What you are doing is kind of my sweet spot.

I tried IF when I started out, and it wasn't for me. I was tooooo hungry. I tried it again about a week before Christmas up until a week ago. I was eating at dinner time and that was it other than my decaf iced coffee in the morning. I wasn't hungry hungry, but felt really snacky and I was maintaining at the upper end of my normal. On the weekends where I would eat 2 meals, I'd drop back down. It took a little bit for me to see the pattern, but what it boiled down to is me going back to 2 meals a day. Either breakfast and dinner, or if no time for a full morning meal (eggs and the works) then lunch and dinner. It worked out better for me.

That's the beauty of tracking your intake, weight, and patterns. It's easy to spot things that you might otherwise not consider. You become much more aware of what works for you, and in tune with what your needs are and how you function at your best.

Glad you finally busted out of your stall!
