Hello reddit community! I am a 28yr old male, 5"11 and currently weigh 220lbs. My body fat estimate is somewhere between 22-24. I used to be 270lbs last year. Aiming to finally achieve 16% body fat for the first time in my life! I've been 200 since 13..

Currently I am aiming for a form of keto maintaining my carbs under 50 grams daily. Calorie intake is somewhere between 1600-1800 daily. I am a manager in a retail store so I average 12k steps 5 times a week. I am completing 100 push ups daily and doing core exercises, as well as 10-20mins of jump rope 3 times a week. My plan is to maintain all of this for a month and then introduce healthy carbs such as lentils, beans,quinoa,whole oats back into my diet and introduce weight lifting (I've lifted weights before and still have some remaining muscle mass, I did 6 months of 4 gyms sessions a week routinely.) My goal is the same that started my journey in late 2020. That is to have a picture of me where I don't have a belly/gut and finally take a picture of me shirtless. I don't want to live my life without ever seeing how I would look without excessive body fat.

Any questions or suggestions are welcome! Thank yall for reading this, have a great year!
