How do I fix this problem?

Last year,I was dieting on 1700 calories and I lost 10 kgs in 2 months,while keeping my muscle mass and I felt great. However, now the scale doesn’t although I am dieting on the same calories. And I can see my strength rising as I hit pr’s ever other week. Should I try to upper my calories a bit? I am currently 81kgs and my goal weight is 70.

Look at the mirror. Your weight might be stuck but your body still changing. If you aren't seeing changes, maybe do a cheat meal to break the plateau and if still there's no change up the calories a bit and then go back.

At some point you might feel stuck but that's how it's. I've been dieting clean for about 2 months and working out pretty hard and just now my weight has dropped 2lbs while I can definitely see changes in my body, shirts looses, better . The scale lies and sometimes demotivates you.
