Not sure if everyone would class this as volume eating but was really tasty and filling for under 400 cals

Hi, for context I’m a 22 year old female 167cm at 75KG. I started my weight loss journey last May at 142KG and barring the odd holidays or couple days I’ve been on a calorie deficit ever since. Went from 1800 cals to 1700 and now I’m up to 1900 as I avg around 18-20K steps daily along with strength training and Zumba so I’m usually in the gym 5 days a week minimum dropping from 6 days.
How’d you know when to take a break and for how long? I know I have more weight to lose but unsure whether to just keep going or to reset and stay at maintenance for 2-4 weeks. I haven’t taken a long diet break since I started as the voice in the back of my head tells me I’ll gain the weight back.
I’m thinking 2 weeks at 14K steps and 2300 calories whilst keeping my gym activity the same but I’m unsure on whether to take the step. I just want to be less fatigued all the time. Even when planning a maintenance plan I just thought ugh 😕. All I do is track calories and adjust my calories to the point where my screen time on MyFitnessPal is over an hour per day though I preplan meals.
People tell me to slow down and just take some time off but they aren’t in the position of understanding how weight loss can impact the mindset.
