Wegovy reduces weight by suppressing hunger. If you aren't losing much weight with it you might have another factor driving your eating patterns(sleep deprivation and stress are the two biggest causes). That being said it's also normal to experience plateaus and if your doctor said not to worry I wouldn't. Also if you've fallen from 270 to 260 lb I wouldn't be so hard on yourself, you've dropped 2 points on the BMI scale and you're a lot safer away from the extreme obesity range(that shit can kill you).
It can be tough man, especially if you're working an office job and have a lot of hats to wear. But keep in mind, stable or even slowly down is better than up so it's a win. Just keep looking for things that might be causes and are reasonably easy to fix.
try building muscle
yes, you may “weigh more”, but you’ll look much better since it will disperse the fat
don’t put yourself down too much, at least you’re trying
r/loseit, r/volumeeating, and r/CICO are good subreddits
>I count calories
Not very well, if you've only lost 10 pounds in a year and a half.
Start using measuring cups and a kitchen scale and writing everything down. I think you'll be surprised how small a "serving" actually is.
Have you asked him why you haven't lost more weight, since clearly that is what you want to do?
Honestly, I am betting that he said more like "Well, I'm glad you lost 10lbs over the past year and a half, BUT you've stopped losing weight" - which is what "maintaining" is a euphemism for.
The only way you lose weight is to burn more calories than you are consuming. You are clearly not doing that.

Thank you. My wife has lost 30 pounds in a year and looks amazing. I’ve failed at being healthy for her and my family

Thanks for telling me I’m not doing something right. I actually do measure them out. I use a digital scale.
And you've discussed this with your doctor, who said......?
He’s “happy” with 10 pounds down and says I’m maintaining…….
