Welcome Allura
Most of us have been where you are. I also lost very slowly on Atkins. The problem for me was I was eating a ton of fat to keep from getting hungry - which meant I was eating a lot of calories. Since ketosis only indicates you are burning fat for fuel - not if the fat is coming from your thighs or your dinner plate - it is entirely possible to be in ketosis and stalled.

The key for me was to lower my calorie intake. I did this on Atkins and felt awful - listless with no stamina. This was what lead me to switch to PP - since uping my protein, I have found I can keep my calories in a range that keeps me losing without feeling rotten or starving.

I'm sure the other members will offer their insights as well.

Again, welcome - this is a great place to get support while you're figuring out what you need to do.
