I know the rule of thumb is 1g per bodyweight lb, but isnt it against LBM. If I look at the LBM calculators to give an estimate. If Im 190 with 15% body fat, that means my LBM is around 161. Does this mean I should take in 161g of protein atleast to sustain muscle? I am cutting, but im trying to drop calories. Right now its at 200g of protein and im 190. can I lower it to like 175g of protein? will this effect my cut?

It's unnecessary, just so you know.

Did you read the sticky titled "Calculating Calorie & Macronutrient Needs"?
Protein needs generally go up when cutting. Also from the sticky:
General 'bodybuilding' guidelines for protein would be as follows:
- Moderate bodyfat = 1-1.33g per pound TOTAL weight [or ~ 1.25g/pound lean mass if bodyfat known]
- Very Low bodyfat or Very Low Calorie = 1.25 - 1.75g per TOTAL weight [or ~ 1.35 - 2g/pound of lean mass]
