If you're close to goal maybe you're unhappy with the way you look, not so much what you weigh. Lifting weights can really transform what your body looks like however you have to be prepared that it's not going to make that number on the scale go down much (in some cases people see the scale go UP).
Case in point: When I lifted weights regularly I was a full size smaller than I am now but weighed
exactly the same.
But you said you were CLOSE to goal so to break that stall you're in you could try mixing up the ratio of macronutrients (protein, fat & carbs). I've found that I lose best on a high protein diet with no processed grains. Also cutting sugar and HFCS out of my diet (as much as humanly possible, lol) has been a big help too.
