Excellent work! Keep on at it!
Anything worth having deserves a fight, and you're packing a mean punch in the second round! (The first round being the fact that you joined Jiu Jhitsu!)
As I can tell from experience, there will be periods when weight stays the same even if you're exercising and eating right. Just plough on through those times and the weight will start tumbling off again.
May I suggest lifting weights? It also gives a great feeling afterwards. On top of that, combining weight-lfting with a cardio session burns even more fat!

Force yourself to go to the gym. Once you're there, talk to the people. Make friends. I know from experience that it's intimidating to be in a room full of incredibly muscular guys, but many of them were once in our shoes! Most of them are very nice people, although our subconscious tells us that they're self-obsessed jerks!
Just don't engage in conversation while they're doing the actual lifting of the weights, because people need concentration while lifting. You can chat while they're resting in-between workouts. I usually ask people what muscle groups are used in the workouts they're doing, and ask them for advice on certain techniques. I've made several friends that way.
