Ten Weeks out - carb cycle?

Hey everyone - I'm 10 wks. out and considering carb cycling. I've done it before, but I'm still pretty nervous that I'll mess something up. I have about 15-20lbs. left to lose and I've already lost 25lbs. in my previous 10 wks. of dieting. Below is my old diet post I've just copied and pasted it.. It's the same diet I eat now only it's no longer 1776 calories, it's more like 1460 now. My percentages are basically the same as well. Let me know if you think I should carb cycle this close to show time or the potention problems with carb cycling. I just made my caloric cut to 1460 about a week ago so my body hasn't even really seen the effects of that yet. Any input appreciated, thanks!

Daily Schedule - remember my diet is much lower now calorically but all the foods and meals are the same

6:30 wake up

1hr. walk
20 min. stretch session

8:30 - meal 1 -

5 egg whites
1 whole egg
1/2 cup oats

11:00 - meal 2

8oz. skim milk
scoop EAS whey protein
2 brown rice cakes

12:20 - 2nd cardio session 20 min. interval training run/walk 1:1 ratio
1:00 - meal 3

4oz. skinless boneless chicken breast
1 cup brown rice
90g. broccoli

1:30 - superset workout - 4 day split
2:15 - 2nd stretch session 15 min.
2:30- routine practice

4:00 - meal 4

4oz. lean ground turkey
180g. red potatoe
90g. broccoli

7:00 - meal 5

4oz. lean ground turkey
1/2 cup oats
90g. broccoli

10:00 - meal 6

4oz. boneless skinless chicken breast
2 brown rice cakes
15g. almonds

Daily Totals: Cals - 1732.5 fat - 34.7g (18%) carbs - 182.6g (43%) protein - 172.9g (40%)

I drink a gallon of water a day - 1/4 of that gallon is usually green tea
My lowest caloric intake will be about 1400 cals so if you suggest dropping the cals consider the time I have left and that I need to save some cuts for the future - this diet is 150 cals down from my previous diet.

Carb cycling has worked pretty decent for me, but i find to look as lean as possible i like to go low-carb and use refeed days to replenish glycogen stores. Have you ever tried low carbing?

Yes, and although effective I put the weight right back on. Also, low carb is not an option for me seeing as I'm doing a fitness competition and will need all the energy I can get for my demanding routine. Thanks though!
