Diet Question/Assistance

[MrPump]

Background:
38
Lifting since I was 16
Serious lifting started when I was 25 (but I go in cycles)
Tried AAS, but not my thing.
Currently on TRT 150/Weekly

As of Nov 26th I was 240 pounds.
Today, 204.8.

Workout 6 days a week
4 Days lift
6 Days Cardio

So on to the question:

To get my weight under control, as I was pushing 27% BF (sensor), I started watching what I ate, logging my food, and calculating my calories,fats, protiens, etc.

Over the course of the last 8 weeks or so, I have ranged:
Cals: 1100 - 1800
Fats: 20 - 100
Carbs: 50 - 175
Prot: 100 - 200

I have tried to go up and down and not be consistant. However, the one thing I am understanding is that I am not eating enough to build any muscle.

My concern is that if I bump up my Cal intake to 2500-3500, that I will start to store fat.

Any suggestions on how I can do this the smartest possible way, without getting fat.

Goals:
I do not have a weight goal, I have a "Look" goal and "feel" goal. Right now, I still have a bit of belly fat and want that to go away (love to see an ab or two), feeling good right now. But mentally I keep thinking im losing muscle mass.

i would tighten up the carb range to 50 to 125
increase protein to around 375 to 500 grams per day
and raise your fats as well i personally eat a nut blend 4oz at a time as well as 50 ml carlsons best fish oil and 20-30ml barleans flax seed oil per day
NO SUGAR
try those numbers out and you should hold onto muscle just fine, you may lose or hold some water until your body adjust to the increased calories but once you even out you can play with your fat intake to try to manipulate the burn of stored BF just remember to severely regulate carbs if you are going to lower your fats the idea is to burn dietary fat for atp instead of using carbs then when you lower dietary fat intake your body will make up the slack by burning that hard to get off fat
