First of all, congrats on your success so
far!
Plateaus suck in diets. Your body has made
a nice little equilibrium for itself.
Because you've been losing weight, the
amount of calories you normally burn
throughout the day has lowered because
you're not working as hard to get around,
so you may need to make some minor changes
in order to get back on track. It's also a
possibility that you're losing weight, but
gaining muscle and since muscle weighs
more, your progress doesn't show on the
scale.
Try switching things up a little. You can
switch your diet around a little bit (Only
if you're comfortable. If what you're
doing works then stick with it!), but what
you can really change is your workout
schedule. Try picking up something new
like swimming or start up a habit of
taking a nice walk later on during the
day. It doesn't need to be an extreme
change.
I'm not sure what your diet is like, but
considering your recent success I'm sure
just a small tweak with your exercise
habits and you'll be back to losing
weight.
Good luck!

Depending on how it is you lost weight,
there are explanations why you ceased to
continue to lose weight.
If you lost weight by dieting
significantly, your body will attempt to
balance out the nutritional/energy intake
and try to conserve what it can by slowing
your metabolism. If you lost weight
through this way, assuming you've exceeded
healthy limitations, I don't recommend you
pursue dropping the calories.
If you lost weight by exercising
appropriately, and have continued the same
schedule over the course of the last year,
your body has also adapted to its "daily
ritual". Remember that your body was made
to survive, and does everything it can to
excel at something given enough practice.
If you continued the same exercise
regiment for so long, your body has gotten
used to it and learned to produce the same
effect of exercise with minimal amounts of
energy loss. This is known as habituation.
In order to have your body get the best
work out, you need to continuously alter
and change what you are going and "trick"
your body.
