I have recently learned about IIFYM concept of losing weight. However, this concept takes a LOT of time to pre-plan each day.
My question is: do you focus more on a calorie deficit each day or hitting your percentages on MFP/IIFYM?
I am overthinking this too much, and I am afraid this is going to cause me to fall off losing weight.

Yes, you're overthinking this. You lose weight by eating at a deficit. Period. So concentrate on making your calorie goal. Log everything you eat & drink accurately & honestly. Weigh your food.
