Is My Cut Too Aggressive? Looking For Advice

Hey guys. I've been trying to lose weight over the year and things are going well. I'm a 6'0, 25 year old guy and I started at 225lbs around this time last year; I decided to start cutting my calories and working out a bit more, and I think in about 4 or 5 months I lost weight until I was around 173lbs, . I was eating 1700 calories and logging every day. I hit a plateau at the low 170s; and decided to just go on maintenance for a while after that.

I'm about 170 pounds right now and (at least with a tape measure) it sounds like I'm between 19% and 22% bodyfat. I'd like to lose the rest of it, but I'm having some trouble figuring out what's appropriate or not. I've been at my new set up for about two weeks; my TDEE is 2003, and I'm logging 1500 calories a day. I'm not calculating any calories from exercise and using the sedentary option. Right now I'm working out with dumbbells using the Fierce Five Dumbbell program 3 times per week, and thinking about including some HIIT cardio on my off days. My macros are 88g of carbs, 52g of fat, and 170g of protein, and I'm also taking some creatine and a daily multivitamin (GNC Megamen). My diet is healthy and I log everything I eat down to ingredients, oils, sauces, I also weigh everything.

I wanted to see what people who were more experienced than me thought; is this okay, or is there anything about this that's maybe a bit too aggressive? Should I keep at the pace I'm going? I think my biggest question is the macros I've worked out; do they seem right? I read I should try to keep protein at around 1g/lb, fat around 25 to 30% of my intake, and what ever is left over to carbs (about 25% of my intake for this case).

TL;DR

SW: 225 Dec 24th, 2019 BF: ?

CW: 170 Dec 13th, 2020 BF: 19%-22%?

GW: 145lbs or ~10%BF, whichever feels nicer

Height: 6'0

TDEE: 2003cal

BMR: 1669cal

Intake: 1500cal

Activity Level: Mostly sedentary, full body dumbells 3x per wk, considering HIIT on off days

Workout and Activity Calories not being counted

Macros: 88g Carbs / 170g Protein / 52g Fat 25%/45%/30%

​

Is this all good, or should I change anything? Keep the pace I'm going at? Thanks in advance!
