Some advice please

im a 17 yr old and have lost a little over 105lbs in the past year and a half...currently i am 5' 10" 170lbs..i workout 5 days a week with 3-4 days of cardio and now i have hit a plateau..I can't seem to gain anymore strength and still want to tone up alot (mostly around mid section and legs) (from being overweight)..i have a pretty strict and clean diet, but i could still use some work..same with workout plan..recently i have been using routines from shapefit but i cant seem to find the right one...and i want to lean towards lower weights and higher reps..if anyone has any ideas/routines or any advice it would be appreciated..thanks

Kudos on the losses dude, that's good Fat bashing

What's diet like? Meals? Times. You never know, could still be good for a few tweaks.

6:30--bowl of kashi cereal with skim milk/apple (Give the Fruit about 10-15 minutes to digest before you eat the Cereal, as eating it with Cereal could impair Fruit digestion.)
9:00--light yogurt/banana/10 almonds (Same with Banana, space it before the other stuff.)
11:30--turkey sandwhich with 2 pcs of wheat bread/ side salad (I'd be inclined to cut one piece of Wheatbread out, and sub the carbs for something lower Glycemic, so possibly boost Salad Carbs instead.)
2:00--peanut butter with 1 pce wheat bread (A bit Fatty and Salty PB, if you want some Fat source, have a few low Salt Nuts instead perhaps, or Fatty Acid Capsules,)
4:00--usually a lean piece of steak with carrots and rice/ or peice of chicken breast with carrots and rice (Fine)
6:30-7:00 protien shake/apple (be careful not to spike Bloodsugar up too high here. Regular Bloodsugar increases like this, can lead to Diabetes long-term, so unless this is taken after a workout, or the Powder has low Simple Carbs in it, perhaps switch the Protein source, to something like Egg Whites with the Apple, or some Baked Beans instead.

If you do something like Beans, bearing in mind the Carbs, you could cut the Banana out and switch it for something lower in Carbs, to keep Carbs the same, something like a some Cherries, Strawberries, Grapes, or perhaps a Tangerine / Satsuma, remembering to save the Fruit a while, before the Beans or Eggs, to help it digest.)
