How can I reach my desired body fat goal of 20% while managing PCOS symptoms, gut inflammation, and sensitivities to certain foods? I weigh 82kg, with 33% body fat, which means around 55kg of muscle and water. My TDEE is 2600kcal, but I currently eat around 2000kcal per day. I've cut out dairy and am trying to limit sugar and processed carbohydrates due to insulin sensitivity. My hormone balance has improved, but I still struggle with excess chin hair growth. I recently started weightlifting again after stalling in 2025, and I'm considering a MAPS 15 style program. What strategies should I follow to achieve my goal given these challenges?
