Well the question is too generic to answer with just a simple no. How is your nutrition? What bf% are you currently at? How much activity do you do and how intense is your workout? Simple answer is no. Ultimately nobody knows the answer to this question, so I'm going to say no also.

I don't go to the gym anymore so above stats are useless.
Only do weighted calastentics in the comfort of my own home!

I eat between 1000 and 1200 calories a day, and that’s enough to drop 0.5kg a week.
140/150 grams of protein a day.
My weight is 78kg and height 1.73m.
Idk about body fat but for sure over 15%.
I was thinking to start doing some low intensity cardio for 1 hour, in order to burn 300-350 extra calories and make my cutting quicker.

That oil comment made my eyes so wide...
Oil is one of if not the most caloric dense substances imaginable. With 30g of oil you can add I think close to 400 calories. And yeah I agree with above poster.
Also calorie counters for walking I think are so useless. I walk 8 miles min a day and I ain't burning over 500 calories. Closer to 300cal in all honesty. Still eating 1900 still losing a lb a week after 11 weeks.
Learn to count properly and be consistent. And make sure you are strength training.
No way you only eating 1000 and functioning. I cut on 1900 and I'm 5 9 161lb atm and cut from 172lb with 1900 calories... you are under estimating your calories big time.
Get a white board and put it on your fridge. I recommend against apps to track food. Just read labels or Google info and weigh your food and write it on white board before you consume anything.FS/ S/ OHP/ B/ DL

Are you eating out at all, or consuming food where you have to take an educated guess to count? If so, you could be severely underestimating. Really easy to do, especially when there are things like shared appetizers and your portion is not apparent.
Bench: 350
Squat: 405
Deadlift: 505

According to internet, 100 grams of oil is 900 calories so 30 grams of oil are slightly less than 300 calories.
However, I don’t consume more than 10-15 grams of oil daily.
I also counted calories and weighed the food more than once and I see no mistakes. It’s between 1000 and 1300 calories daily, no more than that.

That rate doesn't really indicate that you're only eating 1000-1300 calories, even for a fairly sedentary male I'd expect at least 2 lbs a week if not more eating that low. Also highly unlikely you would have the energy to sustain an hour and a half workout on that low of a calorie level as well.
All it takes is consistency, effort, proper nutrition, good programming, and TIME.
Don't be upset with the results you didn't get from the work you did not do.

At this point I really don’t know...
If you guys wanna help me count that’s what I eat
Breakfast: milk ( 300 ml ) and oat flakes ( 50 gr )
Morning snack: 150 grams Greek yogurt ( 0 fat and 0 sugar one ) in my no lifting days
100 g banana and 200 g milk flakes in my lifting days
Lunch: 200 grams ( raw ) chicken breast with salad ( honestly I don’t weigh salad as its calories are very low, but I don’t think it’s more than 100 grams anyway )
Afternoon snack: 300 grams white egg
Dinner:
The only different meal of the day, can be 150 grams of smoked salmon, 100 grams of tuna, 150 grams of thinly sliced raw meat, 150 grams cod and so on.
But usually no more than 300 calories.
I also do one cheat meal a week, usually on week ends, and it’s usually a carbs meal.

To optimize results from a cardio workout and/or weight training workout one must keep cardio and weight separate. By separate I mean having at least six hours of recovery in between each. A recent study concluded that "fitness coaches should avoid scheduling two contradictory qualities (like running and weightlifting, or swimming and powerlifting) with less than a six-hour recovery period between them if the goal is to obtain full adaptive responses to each workout" (Armstrong, 2020). By separating the two by six hours your body will have enough time to recover and perform the next workout with quality reps.
