I have been in a calorie deficit for around 6 months, my highest is 172cm I started the journey while I was 70kg with 24% body fat (measured by weight home scale) Now I am 64 but my scale still shows me that I am 21% body fat.
Can I keep going with the caloric deficit for more than 6 months?
From the pictures can you guess my bf%?
Thanks, everyone!

I can't see your pictures but you sound pretty light. I would expect to advise muscle gain if I could see them.
Ignore the results of BF% scales. They are notoriously unreliable. Unless you got weaker, you probably didn't lose any muscle - which is what the numbers are indicating if they were accurate.

BF% is a meaningless number overall. Go by the mirror and photos. At your stats there's a good chance you should be adding mass and not attempting further loss. Post a pic for better opinions
If you don't get what you want you didn't want it bad enough
