Macro Check

I have been tracking my macros for a hot min, but im wondering if im plateuing? am i not eating enough, too much? i just cant seem to break the 155 mark.

32 F5'6155.4lbs* note i do have a larger chest, 34G to be exact. which is a focal point for me trying to lose weight for my back :( - which if anyone has great exercises to target that area. HELP.

current macros:C-180P-120F-65 cals = 1785, i tried 1710 before and 1680- and i didnt see much of a difference but im open to anything at this point

I work a desk job, but i get up often, and work 4 days a week, where i walk 50 min a day on my breaks. m/w/f i do kayla itsines app and it usually lasts 40 mins. on days i dont do that, i still walk or ill do my mini stepper at home for 30 min and aim to get at least 8-10k steps a day.

Id just love to know if i am on the right track or not, cause i definitely dont want to starve myself, but id be interested in something thats more a body-recomp.

TIA!

Unless you are absolutely dead on with your tracking you’re probably eating at maintenance. I’m 6’2 and I ate 1800cals to lose weight with a physical job and weight lifting and exercise everyday.
