It's probably just not ready yet. Keep waiting. It's a good thing that it's still eating!

I would say just keep the ideal molting environment and if it’s healthy it will molt when it’s ready. Mantids can be so baffling sometimes. I once had a mantis going into adulthood show signs of molting and then molted a week later. Didn’t eat or anything. I was panicked, but it molted when it was ready and all was fine. If it’s eating, then it should be ok! Good luck!
