I'm a 45-year-old male, 221.2 lbs, and 20% body fat. My goal is to reach 180-185 lbs and 13-15% body fat. I've been reverse dieting for 2 months and am currently eating 2800 calories, up from 2400 calories, with 180-200 grams of protein. I'm strength training 4 days a week and walking 8-10k steps a day. My weight is staying the same, but I'm getting stronger. When should I start to lean down or start cutting calories?
I'm 18, weigh 185-190 lbs, and have a fatter physique. I decided to lose fat. I weight train 5 times a week and eat 2000 calories with 169g of protein. My maintenance is around 2500 calories as I weight train/strength train 5 days a week and also walk 5k steps 5 days a week. By the end of 6 months, where do you think I will be in terms of my physique and overall fat loss? Moreover, should I stop at 6 months when I feel like my physique has gotten lean enough, then start a lean bulk?

To avoid a plateau, my plan is to eat 2000 calories in the first 3 months, then for the 4th month, I'll increase it to 2300 calories, then back to 2000 for the 5th and 6th months.
