Keep cutting or move to body recomp?

32 5’4 SW: 155 CW: 138

I’ve been in a calorie deficit since March of this year, down about 17lbs. I want to be leaner, should I keep cutting or move to maintenance for body recomp?

What I’ve been doing -
1650 calories on deficit days some maintenance and splurge days mixed in
7k-8k average steps
Strength training 2-3x per week
Volleyball and cycling mixed in 1-2x per week

I’m tired!!!!!

Friendly conversation at a restaurant bar

The other day I (31F) was in Vegas alone waiting for my boyfriend’s flight to land later that evening. I went out to a restaurant and sat at the bar because no tables were available. I brought my kindle to read, hoping that would signal that I just wanted to eat my food, read, and not talk to anybody. Still two older men at the bar tried to initiate friendly conversation with me.

Is it expected of me to make friendly conversation if I sit at the bar?

Shortening dress after the wedding?

I’m in love with my dress and I have heard of people shortening the dress post wedding to wear for anniversaries and such. I am thinking removing the train and shortening this to midi length. Would it be crazy to wear it out like that? I’d like to keep it white.

The dress I initially thought was the one (left, bought and then returned) vs the actual one that I picked up yesterday (right)

Question about frequency of exercise

I have a history of lateral epicondyle tendinitis. Right now it’s feeling pretty good but I’m trying to build endurance for gaming. Should I be doing endurance exercises every day or every other day? Here is my routine

Mobility/stretching
Finger extensor abductions
Isometric wrist flexion hold
Isometric wrist extension hold
Radial deviation hold
Wrist extensions with dumbbells
Grip ball squeezes

Tia!
