Hi All,
I understand that for me to lose weight I need to put myself into a calorie deficit by around 400-500 but I've used a number of calculators online which give me variable results so wondered if you guys could point me in the right direction.
Weight: 200lbs
Height: 5f 11"
BF: probably between 25-30% at a guess
I want to lose around 30lbs over a sustainable period.
I weight train 3 - 4 times a week and 3 days burn 300kc doing cardio.
Any help would be appreciated.

At your height and weight, unless you are spending the entire day in bed, 2090 cal/day is ridiculously low.
With any degree of normal activity, your TDEE should be higher than 2500/day. Try starting your cut at an accurate 2000 calories/day for 2-3 weeks and see where you are after that. You'll likely lose 3-4 pounds in the first week or so (due to water+ fat losses) and then see something like 1-1.5 pounds per week after that.
Consider dropping to 1900 calories per day once you hit the 185# mark to compensate for the lower amount of body mass.~ Like Tae-Kwon-Leap, my goals are not a path to a door, but a road leading forever towards the horizon.
