I was stuck at 167# for almost 3 weeks, but I upped my intake to 40g carbs and am now back down to 35g/day with 2.5# of weight loss in 2 days.

Careful now, muscle mass will weight more than fat. This is why you need to be careful when you are working out and gaining muscle. Judge weight loss by inches off your waist.
And like you stated, if you do hit a plateau, shake things up with some big calories, refeed your body really good, then get back on the controlled calorie program.
