Eating at Maintenance Starting Stronglifts

Hi, I am a 5'7" Male, 190 lbs, approx 30% BF. I have gone to several sites and my TDEE is around 2400-2600 per day.

I have been losing gradually for the last six months doing just walking and running. But I have realized that if I want Long term fitness I have to start to lift. I started Stronglifts about a week ago and I really like it. The emphasis on squatting is what really makes sense to me. I have started low because I want good form.

For the next three months I am going to eat at my TDEE 2400-2600 and just focus on getting more fit. I do some walk / jog routines on the days I don't lift and eat back about 50-60% of those calories I burn. I am pretty much a calories in vs. calories out guy so nothing out of the ordinary there.

Question: Should I expect to see results in measurements (waist) during this process? Anyone had a similar experience?

Let me get this out of the way: I know for a fact that I won't gain any muscle mass as I am not eating at a surplus. Plus, I am not looking to lose any appreciable weight during this 3 month period. I just want to be "more fit" where I am at.

Any kind of comments are appreciated (Heck.. throw in some gifs too if you want LOL)

Thanks!
