I'm not sure what your tdee would be, but I would calculate that and shoot to eat at about 500 calories below that. Keep your protein high, back load your carbs so they're mostly post workout. Try hitting the hiit 4-5 days a week and you're bound to get past that plateau and keep shredding. If you're still at 30% carbs you got plenty of room to keep dropping that as well. I usually like to do it per lb more than a %. So say you're at 2.0g carbs/lb to start and then you start dropping those like .25g /lb each week (or every 2 weeks) just whenever you plateau either ad cardio or drop carbs or a combo. Simple and effective way to cut that always works. You don't wanna throw everything at it right away (super cut diet/tons of cardio/etc) because hen you have nowhere to go when you plateau. Sounds like you def have some room still both with food and adding cardio.

You could also try running an ECA stack with it to help you shred up. You could also run some clen if you wanted, but that is better ran with gear I feel to help you old muscle.

If you do decide to cycle still, Lots of info on here man. good luck!
