I've done that before and it works pretty well if you're at an appropriate calorie intake. I've switched my macros up in the last couple years though. Sports nutrition research suggests that eating more than ~1 g of protein/lb of body weight really doesn't give you more benefit.

Here's what I do.
Protein: 0.8-1.2 g/lb of bodyweight (unless very overweight, then you can go a bit lower to shoot for lean body weight)
Fat: 20-30% of daily calories (set to 25%)
Carbs: the rest of your daily calories

protein seems really high comparatively

I'm 5'3", 150lbs - I take in 125g daily - which is between 23-27% my daily value

Calories are what matter for weight loss, macros mostly personal but I agree, your protein seems a little high.

Eat at a deficit. How you split your macros depends on your goals and what keeps you satisfied.
