Any recommendations is greatly appreciated.

Is 1,600 calories still considered a deficit for me?

I'm a 34-year-old male, 5'7", and on May 20th I weighed 215 lbs. As of today, I'm down to 195 lbs.

For the past couple of weeks, I've been eating around 1,000 calories per day, but I'm starting to realize how difficult that is to maintain long term. I'm considering increasing my intake to around 1,600 calories and was wondering if that would still be considered a calorie deficit for someone my size.

I currently work out 3 times per week in my garage using dumbbells and barbells, but I don't do much additional cardio.

Has anyone with similar stats made the jump from a very aggressive deficit to something more sustainable? Did fat loss continue at a good pace?

Any advice or personal experiences would be greatly appreciated.

I've noticed that when doing dumbbell tricep exercises and chest workouts, I seem to feel the work much more in my right arm than my left. I'm right-handed, and I also recently realized that I can easily flex my right trap, but I have a hard time doing the same with my left.

My form feels pretty solid overall, so I'm wondering if this is a muscle imbalance, a mind-muscle connection issue, or something else. Has anyone dealt with something similar?

What's the best way to correct the imbalance? Should I add extra unilateral work, lower the weight, focus more on tempo, or try something else?

Any advice or personal experiences would be greatly appreciated.

Male, 34 years old, 5’7”, currently 207 lbs. About a week and a half ago I was 212, and I’ve been roughly around 210 for the last 10 or so years.

I’m currently in a calorie deficit, keeping calories around 900–1000/day, with a goal weight of 185.

One thing I’m oddly worried about is loose skin around my abdomen as I lose weight.

For anyone who’s gone through a similar cut, what are some preventive measures I can take to help my skin stay relatively tight during the process?

Any feedback, tips, or personal experiences are appreciated.
