Cutting (Fat loss) help

[dhaezie]

Requesting to read this full

I’m currently on a cut
But I am not sure what my maintenance calorie actually is.

Current Weight: 62kg
Height: 169cm
Age: 22
Gender: Male
Activity: Gym 5-6 days in a week

Can anyone find my Maintenance calories?
The calorie calculators on the internet are confusing for me.

I’m skinny fat..and I’ve bulked for about 5 to 6 months and gained some muscle but the belly fat grew more. So I started the cut from 67kg it's been 1 month since I started the cut, and now i’m at 62kg and there are changes here and there but there are no visible changes in my belly fat.

Currently, I’m on an 1800cal diet with a 140+g daily protein intake.

Is 1800 Cal too low for me?
There are times when I eat just 1400-1500 calories too.

Am I doing it wrong?
Please help out a bro

@dhaezie Why should you worry about your maintenance? You are losing weight (albeit a lot of which was water in the first month), that means you're in a calorie deficit which is the biggest indicator of losing fat. Keep ingesting enough protein, keep resistance training regularly, visible changes will take more than 1 month to show, wait a total of 3 months and then report back.

@dhaezie Your tdee might be around 2400-2500. Eat around 2000 calories.

How do you count your calories?
