I've plateaued on my weight loss (though I do see some muscle popping out here and there...) so I figured this would be a fun way to kick things into high gear!

Let's see now, I'm paying some guy $5/hr to yell at me while I do calisthenics at 5:30 in the morning.
Hmmm...
If there's something I've noticed it seems like there are often plateau type of periods. And changing things up a bit can be helpful to breaking the plateaus.

Unlike you though, my focus this year has been to put on some weight, hello squats and deadlifts, but of primary importance along with the choice of exercise is the diet. There's really no way to get around the diet, but something I observed with incorportating squats and deadlifts into my routine is it made it easier for me to want to adapt my diet -- I got hungrier especially for protein.

So perhaps if you put some time and focus in on metabolic conditioning type of exercising such as calesthentics, you'll find that your diet and wants for diet will adapt some to help bring your weight down some more.
