You certainly have tried everything I could recommend. At the
moment, on the Anchell diet I have plateaued at 29 pounds lost.
I also have introduced some "variations," such as the occasional
egg or other non-Anchell food, but in the same restricted
amounts. I am not convinced that this is the reason for the
stall, however. I have reached a point where I don't need to
lose much more, and I expect it to be very slow going now.

This is a very heretical suggestion, and I only mention it
because you have tried so many paleo variations... I wonder if
something like the starch-based McDougall diet would work for
you. Yes, this is completely antithetical to the ideas of this
list, but given that you have already given the paleo diet more
than a fair shot, I thought I'd mention it. I have a colleague
who has done phenomenally well on that diet, so I know that it
works well for some people. I haven't tried it myself, and I
have no immediate plan to do so, since my current diet is
working, but your situation is different.
