I had my Fitbit for 6 months and lost 24 pounds. Going from 166 lbs to 144 lb was easy. But my goal is 140 and the last few pounds have been a pain. I get close (140.7) but then it goes up to 143 and then down again. My clothes that I put in a box in my closet years ago fit me again. I can see 4 of my 6 ab muscles. When I reach 140 lb, I will set another goal for 136. Whoo hoo.
You'll drive yourself batty attempting to have a weight goal single number.
Human body doesn't work that way, you need to have a realistic range. Don't let the scale define you.
Water weight fluctuations will cause more variance than a single number allows.
Shoot, seasonal changes too for water weight - get hotter in the summer, especially if working outside and sweating - and your body adapts by increasing blood water volume.
Suggest too if you are down to final 10-15 lbs, change goal to 250 cal deficit.
Less to lose, slower is better. Didn't gain it fast, don't attempt to lose it fast.
If you don't purposely do it, most find the body will force it on you anyway - with negative results then.
6 months is probably well past the time to take a diet break if you haven't yet.
Eat at maintenance, get some great workouts, compare energy levels, transform body, for 3-4 weeks.
Then take that 250 cal deficit again.
