How many calories should i eat on a small cut?

[envisionxx]

I weight 157 5 feet 11 inches tall. I weighed 165 earlier in my cut, but im starting to have trouble burning these last 7 pounds for some odd reason. I burn 900 calories alone on the treadmil 4.2 speed 15.0 incline walking on it . I also lift before and do like 4-5 exercises depending what day it is for what body part im training. I eat when maintaining just about 2200-2400 calories a day all healthy foods chicken breast, tuna, haddock, wheat cereals ,skim milk, lentils whole grain spaghetti etc.. So i want to weigh 150 cause i like that very lean feeling so how many calories should i eat? Also i go to bed past 12 am on certain days could that have an effect on my weight loss ? Please just answer my question if your going to post thankyou.

You don't want to lose more than a pound a week, so if your maintenance is ~2300, eat ~1800 a day. You will be 150 by the end of august.

It's a marathon, not a sprint. It'll be worth it in the end.

im older and shorter than he is and my maintenance is 2300 without doing anything but slight activities. No gym or anything. I can tell you this though doing to much cardio combined with too low of calories will actually cause you to lose less weight. I know because it happened to me.
