Is this a good target custom daily Calorie split?

Hey all,
I'm 38 6'2 225.6lbs 15.6% BF I'm trying to continue to lean up and maintain and potentially put on a little more size. I realize it's difficult to lose fat and gain muscle at the same time, but I've been very successful with it historically.
I have been eating very clean but not been counting calories up until now but I'm starting to plateau so I wan't to tighten up my diet to carve out the last 6% BF off me to get sub 10 but again, not lose size.
That being said.... I'm looking at 2030 net calories a day with a split of 45% carbs 228g, 35% Protein 178, 20% fat 45g
Does that look like a good custom goal setup? Or should I tweak something?
Thanks!
