34M. From 100kg to 76 Kg

So I weighed almost 100kg two years ago. I decided that was it.

I got to around 90kg initially, but then gained back to 97kg.

Last year, I truly started to work on my fitness again.

For the first few months, I mostly did 10k steps daily and intermittent fasting. I was eating less, but not optimally, so I was losing fat as well as muscle.

Eight months ago, I started hitting the gym. I followed a push-pull-leg split four times per week. I had never been to the gym regularly in my life, except for a few times, and those were only for a few weeks. But I knew I had to dial in this time around.

I have stuck to PPL until today, but I have increased my lifts.

One and a half months ago, I was 82 kg when I started tracking my calories with MyFitnessPal. My eyes were opened lol, the deficit I thought I was in was actually almost maintenance, and some days, a surplus.

So, with proper tracking, I have averaged around a 600-calorie daily deficit and 150g of protein daily.

This has greatly helped me in cutting another 6 kg in just 1.5 months.

I am truly satisfied with my journey over two years, but I know I have to cut a little bit more, probably to 70-72 kg, while preserving my muscle, then lean bulk from there and settle somewhere between 75-80kg.

I am looking for advice and suggestions on what I should improve from here on.
