So recently I bought a protein shake. It has 25grams of protein per serving. Cause of this my protein macros goes over the goal everyday. Is this fine? I’m on a deficit to lose weight. Now I have about 110 grams of protein

For the purpose of losing weight, it's fine to over macros so long as you stay in a deficit. Unless you have some undisclosed medical issue, 110 g of protein is fine. Some people would even consider it on the low side.2

Are your total calories in check though?
My daily protein consumption is WELL over 110g. It's fine as long as your overall calories ("the big picture") are where they need to be.
If the "extra" protein is throwing your calorie balance off, then you can always trim some away from fats and/or carbs. Otherwise though, it's fine.

I don't worry at all about exceeding the protein macro.0
