I've started this cut at 1,870 calories: 187C, 140P, 62F (40/30/30). Sticking mostly with eggs, egg whites, turkey, chicken, steaks, tuna, oats, Ezekiel bread, rice, yams, asparagus, broccoli and bell peppers, olive oil, PB2, jam, and some not-so-clean condiments and cheese because I am weak and cannot persist without these. I told myself I can cheat once a week and that it has to stay within calories but not macros.
I didn't plan to do intermittent fasting, but it more or less works out that way because I AM ALWAYS HUNGRY and it's not long until I'm starting my next meal and then realize my calories are used up for the day... Eating window is roughly 12p-8p. If I must I’ll drink BCAAS or snack on banana peppers to get through it until I can eat again, but this is usually only once in a while and never in the morning/before cardio.
For cardio I do fasted 3x a week, so far it's been stairmaster level 7/8 for 30 minutes.
Strength training has changed a bit, I perform these each 2x a week. My idea was to do more compound movements and less isolation movements since I understand it's likely I won't build muscle on this cut. I'm trying to find a balance between burning max amount of cals and maintaining SOME level of muscle.
Upper:
Incline chest press machine 3 x 15 (25 ES)
Military press 3 x 12 (40)
Bent over row 3 x 12 (70)
Shoulder press 3 x 12 (25)
Straight arm pressdown 3 x 12 (30)
Lower:
Step ups 3 x 20 ES (bodyweight)
Smith squats 3 x 15 (135)
Leg press 3 x 10-12 (270)
Walking lunges 3 x 30 (40)
Glute pressdown 3 x 15 ES (90)
Stairmaster 10 minutes level 8
I am currently also on clen 20mg a day. I am not at all a fan of anything much higher (cranky, shaky, night sweats, unable to fall asleep....) so it's unlikely I'll bump it up much further. 2 weeks on 2 weeks off for the duration of this cut (3 months or more depending on how I feel).
Scale has been dropping so I'm not concerned this isn't a decent plan for me, I need to work on my mental toughness though. I'll be the first to admit that is absolutely the reason I haven't lost the weight I want to. Getting binge eating under control is unbelievably difficult. It's been less frequent through the years, but never stopped.
For the reasons above if my weight loss stalls I'll be adding in more cardio before dropping cals.
Cheers! Hope everyone's been doing well! Sorry I suck at keeping a log!!

We are all of us different, AND going into spring, well its reality, we all wanna look good in a bikini That will put you in a nice spot to possibly try a lean bulk at the end of summer/early fall. Dont get discouraged - Its a process 
Your doing it, staying committed and staying the course, big part of the battle right there hun
