Don't fret too much about a plateau, it happens all the time. You need to change some things around as others have mentioned. Make sure you have accurately accounted for calories, if you have restricted too much your body may have paniced and slowed your metabolism down. Don't do that, that is why the suggestion to up the calories a bit.

You might try a week of very low carb, that can restart loss.

Remember that as you lose weight your caloric needs drop, so what was a calorie level to lose weight 2 months ago may not be right for you now.

And remember, as has been mentioned, you are now exercising. If you have not exercised much before you may very well build muscle. That can result in weight gain, despite continuing to lose fat. That is a GOOD thing.
