    Advice on leaning out

    Hey guys,

    Just need some advice on how to lean out a little more.

    I am currently 199lbs and at 12.9% body fat. I just got done bulking from 192lbs and packed on a good bit of muscle and strength. I have no problem gaining weight but as always, losing is a lot harder for me. I am currently trying to get to about 9-10% body fat but its been really stubborn on getting down there.

    This has been since the start of February that I have been trying to lean out.

    I currently take in about 5-6 snacks/meals. Roughly 2300 cals, 210+ g protein, 250g of carbs, and 40-60g of fat
    - Mornings, I will have my greek yogurt and banana or protein shake mixed with fruit.
    - 4 boxed lunches containing 5OZ of protein, 2.5 OZ of brown rice and quinoa, and about a cup of veggies
    - lastly after my workout a protein shake


    Do I need to adjust my macros a bit more? More cardio? Any advice?

    Any help would be appreciated.

    Current workout plan: One day rest after Day 4 and continue. I rest 1 min - 1.5 min between sets timed. A couple of weeks ago I started to do cardio earlier in the day for 30 min. Running, elliptical, or stair master.
