    15% is typically the common deficit. As you get within 15 pounds or less you might reduce it to 10% then to 5% when you are in single digits. If you had 60 to lose I see no problem with 20%. IMO the larger your cut the more necessary it should be to reset at TDEE one week for every 4-6 weeks of deficit.
