Down 10 pounds since November, working out 3-4 times per week, feel like a see no results (PHOTOS)

This is quite frustrating for me...

Weight in Nov 2020: 172lb

Weight in April 2021: 160lb

Since August I would Peloton 3-4 times per week. I noticed that was not enough, so starting in November I started to focus more on upper body, with cardio maybe 1 to 2 times per week.

I work out upper body 3x per week, 1 hour each time. I have sort of plateaued in the last month and a half and am no longer moving up in dumbbell weight for most exercises?

Nutrition: Since February I started doing 30g protein shakes, but now I am doing 60g as of this week. Admittedly I eat probably enough per day for maintenance calories, perhaps leaning on the side of going over by 100-200 calories of maintenance, although the weight is not changing. I was dieting up until November, down from 175-180lb in June 2020.
