Hello,
29 years old. 163cm. Male.

I started my cut around 2 weeks ago. Now on day 16 of my cut. I started my cut around the weight of 59kg (5.5 months of bulking) because I felt like my body fat was getting too high. I was at around 19%.

I have been eating around 1650 calories a week and I am starting to wonder whether it is too aggressive. In two weeks, I dropped to around 56.5kg. I know that some of it could be potentially water weight, but I am worried that I might be losing too much muscle mass along the way. I would like to do it in a way where I do not lose too much muscle mass but also cut down to 12% body fat.

I wanted to get some thoughts here! Let me know if you have any questions.
