Eleven pounds down in three weeks is 11 pounds you had at the beginning of January and you don't have at the beginning of February.
The thing with keto is that many, many people have noticed "uneven" losses. There's a bunch of theories out there (one I read was that fat cells give up their fatty acids and take up water, like a placeholder for the fat they expect to replace, then finally drop the water).
The scale can kill you. Weigh once a week, once a month better. USE YOUR TAPE MEASURE AND THE FIT OF YOUR CLOTHES!!! I've had an extended stall where I'm hanging right around the same weight, but the tape measure shows losses.
You cannot decide that you're "not losing anymore" after a few days of no loses reflected in a scale. I'll tell you something, pro bodybuilders give a diet four to six weeks before they decide if it's working for them or not.
Human bodies ARE NOT some machine that switches on/off, that burns fat at a measured pace the way your car burns gas rolling down the highway. Ketosis is a lifestyle, think marathon, not sprint.
And honestly, 11 pounds. Celebrate that, you're on the right track, don't change a thing.
