I have managed to drop from 66kg to 57kg-ish in about half a year. At first, I was a beginner, so I only did 30 mins of workout (about the average length of a FB program workout) before I hit the floor, almost dying. As time goes by, I got stronger and was able to do longer, and workout harder by lifting heavier. Weight was going down, so I was ecstatic! Then I hit plateau. To breach it, I did an hour of workout 5 days a week.
Now, I notice that sometimes I'm too tired to do other things... so I'm thinking of switching back to 30 min workout but I'm so afraid of losing my progress.

What's your two cents? Do you workout for an hour or about half an hour, maybe in between? What works for you? If I want to continue to lose weight, what would be a good plan?
Edit to add: Thank you for your replies! I can't believe I forgot to mention that I have been watching what I eat as well. It's not a strict macro counting, but it started out that way and I used it as a rough guideline.
30 min vs 60 min of workout? Please weigh in!
