Out fishing with Annie on his lap, a cigar in one hand and a ginger ale in the other, watching the sunset.

OK, bhammer,
First, your body will adapt to the exercise and nutrition routine. It's called Adaptation Syndrome. In effect, it's a plateau. Drop the calories and up the intensity, and a few less grams of carbs for a while, see it you can jumpstart yourself. Try some different exercise routines as well.
After a plateau, you resume the loss.
Now, also there is a period, as you were wondering, where you are burning off the fat and gaining muscle and bone mass, so your loss rate stalls. Once this process flattens out, you resume loss again.
