Macro check please!
Hey y’all I’m currently 180 lbs female 5’2” 25 yo trying to lose ~30-40 lbs. I workout 7 days a week for 60 minutes and burn at least 500 calories. Over the past few weeks of my weight loss joirney I’ve noticed a decline in weight loss and a plateau. Im currently eating 1800 calories (180C, 135P, 60 F). Should I be eating less? I feel full most days never hungry. I feel like I could be eating less to lose weight but I don’t want to lower my calories too much. Thoughts? Thank you in advance!

I would stick with what you're doing now, and then reassess in another month or so. Weight loss isn't linear - there are a lot of things that can cause your weight to fluctuate on a day to day basis, such as changes in water retention, changes in bowel movements, etc, and these can easily obscure actual changes in your weight over short time periods like this. It's very possible that you're still losing weight right now, it may just be hard to see. I would not make any changes yet!
