Nice work so far!
Now you need to start counting calories and pay attention to Marcos. The idea is to eat under your daily calories.
So if you you be eatting 2600 calories per day eat at 2100 to 2300 give or take.
Download an app such as cronometer or myfitnesspal (very helpful for keep track)

Start weight training regime of some sort try and keep track of the things your doing and record them so you can see progress.

Eatting carbs is not your enemy, infact can be very beneficial for you at this point. Just make sure to keep them tracked.

Don't relay on sterioids to lose your bodyfat, it will all just come back as quick as it left.

Hey Makwa I read what you have laid out. So I'm confused my average is about 3010 calories a day at 255lbs. Which is 11.80 calories per lb of bodyweight. So 8x255= 2040cals for protein. 4.5x255= 1147cals for fat. So the total of 12.5g for protein and fats I get but obviously I can't subtract 12.5 from 11.80 to calculate my carbs or I have a negative value. So what am I doing wrong or does that mean I don't eat any carbs at all. Any help is much appreciated

Pretty much have it laid out for you here. You need to start counting cals and macros or you are just pissing in the wind trying to lose fat. Home cooked meals, high protein, sensible carbs doesn't mean shit if it doesn't fit within your TDEE goal of losing weight. Eating healthy doesn't mean the same thing as losing weight. Trial and error aren't very effective when trying to lose weight. You need to know what and exactly how much you are eating if serious about losing fat.

Go on a daily caloric deficit of 250 calories. You can find out what your daily maintenance number of calories is first by using a TDEE calculator. Weigh yourself for seven consecutive days to find out what your average body weight is as it will fluctuate throughout the week due to water retention and so on. The reason you should not exceed a deficit of more than 250 calories per day is for several reasons, not least of which being that if you lose the weight too fast you will have loose skin. Instead, by being in a deficit of 250 calories per day, you should lose no more than 2 pounds of fat per month - that is a nice and steady way to do it. You also want to incorporate weight lifting with your cardio routine as this will aid in tightening your skin and increase your metabolism. More importantly, losing too much weight too fast is not healthy. In addition to causing loose skin, it can also create a host of issues both physically and psychologically. It is very taxing on people to drop a lot of weight in a short amount of time.

Do it the right the way, bro! Slow and steady wins the race. You will not regret it if you take your time to reach your goals. In the end it will pay off, and you will not have to worry about the problems associated with losing the weight too fast.
