Hi, fatmad. The only food items I see that could possibly be a problem are mayo, salad dressings/oils, and bleu cheese dip, due to the polyunsaturated fats in most vegetable and seed oils. Some people find that after they've stopped eating commercial mayo, salad dressings, etc., that have vegetable/seed oils, that they lose weight.
Could you use macadamia nut, walnut or olive oil for your oils, rather than the sunflower, corn, safflower, canola, etc.?
Here is
some info on those oils/fats.
As far as what the foods themselves contain that might be causing troubles, it is possible you might be sensitive to casein or lactose. You could experiment with different kinds of dairy, so that you wouldn't necessarily have to give them up altogether. Here is some information on that:

and more info at this page:

Some are sensitive to lectins in plants, or salicylates, such as in tea.
Some are very sensitive to caffeine, in any amounts, due to the insulin response and other things. Some have to stop drinking tea.
Then, is there MSG or "natural flavor" in things such as the smoked salmon? Additives, chemicals, preservatives, and other things that aren't real foods, can cause troubles.
I lost fifty pounds by cutting out all prepared, packaged foods, and refined foods such as white flour, as well as the sugar/honey/artificial sweeteners/high fructose corn syrup, etc., before I started counting calories and carbs. It saved money, too, not buying salad dressings, dips, or anything pre-made.
If you are willing to experiment with those things, you might see a nice difference without needing to adjust the amount of food.
I have had times when, for no reason that I could recognize, I stopped losing weight, and had to start eating less of a particular category of food, or had to eat less altogether, in order to continue losing weight.
I choose my calories with care, as I have precious little room for food that isn't nutrient-dense. For example, I would rather eat 100 calories of bacon, beef or butter, than olive oil or avocado.
When looking at what folks eat, write, suggest, etc., I have noticed that those who maintain at higher weight levels for their height can often eat more things than those of us who wish to maintain at lower weight levels for our height. When studying the Maintenance Forum for things that would be useful to think about, I paid close attention to lifestyle/frame of reference, such as breadth of life experience/thinking style, age, diet, weight lost, and maintenance weight for that person's height.
Hope this helps a bit. Am sending you lots of good thoughts.
