Hi Scott,
I've been working out for muscle gain 3x per week. I weigh 167 lbs and my macros were 2850 cals (250g carbs, 170g protein, 130g fat). I noticed my gut was getting too fat in the process with minimal muscle gain, so I decided before continuing I'd try cutting to get rid of the gut.
I cut my calories from 2850 to 2100 (160g carbs, 150g protein, and 95g fat). As you can see, I only slightly lowered protein, and significantly lowered carbs and fats. I continued to work out with weights, just like before, 3x/week.
My result: over the past two months I've lost a total of only about 1.5 pounds! Most of that 1.5lbs was in the first month. Over the past month I've lost basically nothing. What could I be doing wrong? Did I not lower my calories enough? Did I lower them TOO much? Is my macro ratio wrong? Could it be something else? Please help!
