Stacked them? Like, at the same time? Is that something a doctor would prescribe?

Hitting your target is massive. The details about what comes next are all secondary.

My start and goal weights match! About fifty to go. You're an inspiration and look incredible!

When you say toning up does that mean hitting the gym for the first time or switching to a different routine now that you're at goal?

The maintenance dose decision after hitting goal is the one most forums gloss over after the milestone post. The evidence on regain after full discontinuation is strong enough that the 'better safe than sorry' logic for a maintenance dose is well-founded. 24 months to get there with behavioral changes built in alongside the medication suggests a more durable foundation than a pure medication-driven loss, but the drug is still doing something worth preserving.

Using the quieter food noise period to build actual habits rather than just riding the medication indefinitely is the approach that gives you the best chance of eventually reducing the dose. 24 months to goal with that goal in mind is the long version of this done right. What habits stuck the most from the period when food noise was quiet?

The non-scale wins are the ones that actually matter for quality of life. After 24 months the scale number is almost the least interesting thing. What changed in how you feel in your joints, energy levels, how you move through the day? Those tend to be the things that last.

The non-scale wins are honestly the most important category once you're at goal - food noise finally quieting down, eating to fuel rather than chasing a feeling, actual comfort in your own head around food. Those changes don't show up in a before-and-after photo but they're what makes the result stick.
