You stall because your hormones aren't allowing you to lose weight as quickly.
Moving your calories even lower will only further negatively effect your hormones and losing weight will become even more difficult. What's more is that once you're at a weight you're happy with, your maintenance caloric intake is now damaged because of the hormones that were effected during the process and now you're stuck having to eat less and having less energy until your weight comes back up again and your hormones readjust which takes months at times.
