you just need to get those few weeks out of the way then you can gradually increase cals, jump on cycle and let the fun begin
what is your training split like, this is prob half the reason your strength is stuck, you need to mix it up, every 8 weeks or so i change routines, nothing drastic just swap the odd exercise for another, different posistion/angles, thats why you see people training 2yr with no progress, they got poor diet and same routine week in and week out
actually whats the macros of your current diet these days? and what you doing for cardio?
