Congratulations on a year!

The last 10-20 pounds is the weight of excess skin, which you can't remove unless you have surgery. Plus, it's very normal to fluctuate 3-5 pounds a week.

You need to build muscle to maintian long-term weight loss. Add some resistance training to your regimen. Cardio is great for the heart and immediate results, but it's muscle that burns calories 24/7. You don't have to go big to get results.
