Is it normal to feel so exhausted on a caloric deficit?

First time posting anything so apologies for any misunderstandings.

The only issue I’m running into is how completely drained I feel during lifting sessions, I feel really light-headed after completing a set of anything. 3 weeks in and it’s really starting to kick my ass.

Eating around 1800 calories per day (145 G protein, 144 G carbs, & 52 G fat). Working out 6 days a week. C25K before breakfast and P/P/L weightlifting (high reps+progressive overload) at night.

My goal is to get down to 15%, I don’t mind losing “weight” but strength. I really just like to know from you guys if what I’m doing is ideal.

For reference I weigh 228 lbs (23% bf).
