Hi Windy
Congrats on your weight loss and coming of the meds...that's really great!
As far as maintenance goes, you could start by either increasing your fast day calories or just fasting once a week. I eat all my 500 cals in the evening after fasting for 24 hours so if/when I reach my target my plan is to eat a normal dinner instead of a 500 cal and to continue to fast twice a week. If I were to continue to lose weight I'd probably alternate weeks with 1 or 2 fasts.
I think if you monitor your weight closely you can be quite flexible.
Good luck with it!
