I would try just lowering your carbs some, but try to have them all around your workout. Depending on when you train, have some of them beforehand...and then the rest Postworkout and maybe the meal after.
Try that for a few weeks and see if there are any changes. If not, then I would slowly start reducing calories across the board....but slowly. Even dropping them by 300 calories a day should start things moving in the right direction if all the other variables stay the same.
When I start leaning out, I keep my same macros but eat at a 300 calorie deficit. Workouts are typically the same as far as time and intensity....and I don't actually do any cardio. I follow this until the scale or mirror shows me stalling for more than a week....usually two weeks...then I will drop calories by another 200 to kick start things back up.
Last year I think I went as low as 1700 calories per day with no cardio. But with my last bulking phase....I should be able to do the same but with about 600 calories per day than before.
I think if it gets to the point of approaching 1800 per day, that is when I will start adding small amounts of cardio to get my deficit in instead of dropping my calories further.
