  At your level, your study priorities should be following:
  
  1. Solve chess puzzle tactics. Try to visualize entire variants, don't just guess answers.
  2. Play and analyze your games. It's better to play rapid tempo than blitz. After game, try to analyze without engine.
  3. Study strategy books (for example Mastering Chess Strategy by Johan Hellsten).
  4. Study endgames.
  
  However, pushing from plateau will be hard, so be patient and reward will come.

  Only you can answer this question.
  
  When you are stuck on a plateau in chess (or in other subjects, really), it's always the same thing that needs to be done:
  
  1. Figuring out WHY you lose the games that you lose
  2. Figure out what kind of thinking error YOU make that causes you to make those mistakes
  3. Figure out how you should be thinking in such situations instead
  4. Find a way to train that new thinking and train it a lot.
  5. Repeat.
