“Ob~” is a root that means against

Obstacle: anything that gets in your way/prevents you from doing something

An obstacle is typically some sort of noun or idea.

For example:

“I almost tripped over a rock.”
Rock = obstacle

“I wanted to go home, but I just got more work.”
New work = obstacle

“Obstruction” pretty much means that something’s being blocked

An obstruction “is” in itself, the blocking.

For example:

“There was an obstruction on the highway, so I was late to work.”

Obstruction = ?
We’re unsure what the obstruction was. Maybe an accident? Road work? All we know is that something was blocking the road.

Note: an obstacle can be obstructive

“I was trying to draw, but my cat kept sitting on the paper.”

Obstacle = cat

The cat is obstructing (blocking) the paper. Therefore, you cannot draw.

Stumbling block is just another way of saying obstacle.
However, I think a stumbling block is more of a personal struggle.

For example:

Tom was an alcoholic, but he’s stopped drinking for 3 years.
If he sees a beer, he’ll want to drink it, but knows he shouldn’t.
Therefore, beer is his “stumbling block” or obstacle.

Beer is preventing him, or making it difficult, to keep his goal of staying sober.

However, obstacles and stumbling blocks can be overcome.

stumbling block, a

An obstacle; a hindrance to progress or understanding. Originally this expression literally signified an object over which one tripped. It so appears in the Bible: “Thou shalt not curse the deaf, nor put a stumbling block before the blind” (Leviticus 19:13). In the course of time it began to be used figuratively as well, and in the twentieth century it was turned into a maxim: “Let us turn stumbling-blocks into stepping-stones” (John R. Mott, ca. 1925).
