Stuck in a rut

So a little context, I'm a male, 19 years old, 6'3, and currently weighing in at 230 lbs. I started trying to be healthier, both in terms of diet and exercise. I've lost 76 pounds since I started all of this last year (I'll let you do the math on how much I weighed). My goal weight is 200 lbs by July 2020, but I've recently been feeling like that goal is impossible. This started end of November/beginning of December. I was counting calories, doing IF, hitting the gym at least 4 days a week. I hit 230 in the beginning of November and have not been able to lose anymore. I hit many a plateau, but this one just kind of hit me mentally. I got to a point where I loved going to the gym, it made me feel accomplished while being a way to unload after a long day. Now it feels like a chore. I have to make myself exercise. I'm still able to eat right, however I did slip a little over the holidays (I'm only human). I've come this far and I don't want to hop off the wagon this close to the destination, and no way in hell am I gonna let myself go back. I just feel like the road never ends. I'm happier with how I look, but I'm definitely not happy with it. I just don't know where to go from here.
