Good day, i have been struggling to loose body fat percentage. I go 6 times a week to gym for strength training . And I am around 1000 kcal less on my calories, I am taking also Animal Cuts and 200g of protein , including whey isolate. I almost don’t eat any carbs. I loose the weight but my fat percentage stays around 30%.

Animal Cuts = Irrelevant for fat loss
200g of protein = good for muscle retention, doesn't actually help with fat loss unless you're in an overall calorie deficit
Not eating carbs = you personal preference, but will not help with muscle retention or fat loss, and can negatively affect performance in the gym.
As long as you're losing about 0.5-1.5% of your overall bodyweight per week then you're right in the sweet spot. Disregard any electronic devices that tell you what your bodyfat is, they are not accurate. As long as you're hitting your protein targets and strength training then most of what you are losing will be fat.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.

Hello! Losing body fat percentage can be a challenging process, but it sounds like you're already taking some steps to achieve your goals. However, it's important to remember that weight loss and body fat percentage are not the same thing. You can lose weight by reducing calories, but that doesn't necessarily mean you're losing body fat.
Here are some things you may want to consider:
Incorporating cardio into your routine: While strength training is great for building muscle and boosting metabolism, incorporating cardio into your routine can help burn extra calories and promote fat loss.
Tracking your progress: While the scale is one way to measure progress, it doesn't tell the whole story. Consider using a body composition scale, measuring body parts with a tape measure, or getting a professional body fat analysis to track your progress.
Reevaluating your diet: While reducing calories is important for weight loss, it's also important to make sure you're eating a balanced diet with enough nutrients to support your workouts and overall health. Consider consulting a registered dietitian to help you create a sustainable meal plan.
Considering your genetics and hormone levels: Some people may have a harder time losing body fat percentage due to genetics or hormone imbalances. Consider talking to a healthcare professional to rule out any underlying issues.
Being patient and consistent: It can take time to see changes in body fat percentage, and consistency is key. Keep up with your workouts and diet, and trust the process.
Remember that every body is different, and what works for one person may not work for another. Be patient and kind to yourself, and focus on creating sustainable habits for long-term success.
