TDEE and Percentages

I am currently at TDEE -20% and losing pretty fast.

At what point in my progress do I drop that percentage to 15 or 10? I have lost 28 in the last 3 months and have about 30 to go to my ultimate goal weight.

I lift heavy 3 days a week and bike hard 2 days. If I have to skip a day of exercise its a cardio day. My TDEE is 3468. My daily calories is 2775.

    Well done on your work so far. When you get to within 10-15 lbs of goal go to TDEE - 15% and when you're at 5 lbs from goal reset to -10%. This should help you find the transition to maintenance easier.

    I'm at 13 lbs from goal and still at 20%, but can probably lower my goal again some... Ok make that 18 lbs.
