Short game. If your mid 80's consistently it will come down to short game. Gotta make those sand saves, gotta get up and down on missed GIRs.

This has been the single most difficult plateau for me - and I am still fighting this also. "Golf is not a game of perfect" comes to mind, you need to figure out how to play and score from your bad shots. It takes a lot of practice.

The single biggest help to me has been a 9 hole par 3 course at the course where I take my lessons.

It's usually completely open, and my coach instructed me to take full advantage. Drop a couple dozen balls in a bunker and work on it. Put myself in situations that I'm not comfortable and force myself to learn how to play that shot correct. I really feel that this par 3 course has helped leaps and bounds.
