This is my progress from earlier this year. I was about 260 pounds with a size 42 waist in the green shorts. And 223 pounds size 34 waist in the blue shorts. Then I decided it was time to bulk.

I will start by saying that Max will be huge in getting you where you want to be.If you listen.
Based on my conversations with maxmuscle1, I doubt your gear course is prescribed by him. It’s too much, especially where you are now. Your primary focus needs to be losing fat and maintaining muscle, working from lean to competition shape from there. You are eating too many calories at the moment as well.
You need to be in a deficit and getting your fat under control as you have a lot of it still. Your progress is good, don’t get me wrong, but you are still quite fat...at least from a BB stand point.
As far as competing...you need to pick a show and date so you have a specific goal. As Lewis Carroll said “If you don’t know where you are going, any road will take you there.”
Picking a date will give you focus. Having said that, you don’t have a job that is conducive to competing. Not to say you can’t, it will just take an incredible amount of focus.
One realistic goal at a time my friend.
I think max will back me up on this, diet 80%/training 15%/drugs5%.Use this as a motivator.

Thank you for your suggestions, I do have a date and a show to work for. My job is a pain to work around, but if I let my job control my life, I'd accomplish nothing. I've learned to work around it over the years. I agree, I do have fluff to lose. And I will.

I worked on a door crew, on the road, during my prep for my first show in 1989. They were these huge commercial doors and much work was done from cherry pickers. It got to be a kind of funny thing because when my watch alarm would go off, the crew would stop as I lowered down to get my meal. By the end of a few weeks, the other crews in the building would hear my alarm and there would be a crescendo of “TIME TO EAT!” Yelled throughout the site. That was cool.
My boss hated it because we were paid expenses and guys would order a $4.99 Grand Slam for breakfast and I’d order oatmeal, 6 hard boiled eggs or something, that added up to around $12. Fortunately for me, I was irreplaceable on the crew due to me being the only person who could read blueprints and fabricate metal.
Those were the days...$26.50/hour prevailing wage. I was making a ton of money on the road while my GF was at home, having parties, banging other dudes and depleting all my funds.
But I stayed intensely focused on my upcoming debut show.
Oddly enough, my GF didn’t like sleeping with me because I was “hard and prickly”.
I’d like to see you back off the gear for now and keep us updated. Aside from hiring a coach, you will get some good advice here.

Good luck. I travel for work and work a pretty shitty schedule too. Have you looked into anytime fitness or a 24 hour chain gym. Works well for me but not sure where you are located. Stage fright is a killer. I hated wrestling in duals in school and powerlifting comps I would get nervous as hell except for benching. Lol
