I am a 35 year old male, currently weighing 205lbs. I started at 252 back in August. I eat anywhere from 1800 to 1900 calories a day and stick to a pretty clean diet. I perform weight training 2 days a week and cardio at various lengths and intensities 3 days a week. My question is: Since I have hit the 205-206 mark, I have been staying pretty much the same weight for the last month. I have made adjustments to my intake as my weight decreased but are not seeing results. All of them calorie counters are all over the map as to what I am supposed to eat, so I am not sure if I am eating too muvh or not enough. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

If your actually doing that and sticking to it, you should continue to see results. Its hard to see your actual totals but your food choices seem great. Just make sure your doing compound movements while weight training. You may actually be undereating. Check out this site and figure out your numbers.

You could aslo have plateaued. Take a few extra days off or go out and have your favorite meal. This could help restart the burn.
