Have you ever taken a diet break or have you been eating at a cut the entire 8 months?0

I've pretty much always ate at a 15% cut... I've never ate at my tdee0

It sounds like your body has adjusted to the lower calorie diet. Try taking a diet break for a few weeks (4-8) and then start your 15% cut again.0

I agree 100%. You need to do a reset for 6-8 weeks at TDEE. If you gain weight, keep eating at TDEE until you stop gaining. If you don't gain, going back to a cut is fine.0 -
