First of all congratulations on your impressive progress! To reach 2000 in 1 year, it's very impressive. It's actually very common to get stuck at this level, since this is the level where chess players already work very hard and definitely spent thousand of hours on chess. They do not blunder primitive stuff and do not commit obvious mistakes. I would suggest to get a coach, if you cannot afford try to get at least one evaluation class where coach analyzes your games, indicated problematic areas and comes up with the plan. IN this case you are not going to lose time with self-work.
