Want to get to 12% body fat

Hi everyone. I'm 6ft 200lbs and I'm 16% body fat. I want to get down to at least 12% to get that more chiseled look. Do you think I should continue working out 4 days a week (splits) and maybe throw some light cardio in and just be more careful with my macros? Or should I loose 10lbs to get to 185-190 and then build more muscle while watching my macros. It seems hard to get a chiseled look at 200lbs, and it seems most people my height are like 170-180 that have 10-12% look ripped, but I really don't wanna get that small lol. Any tips or ideas greatly appreciated!!
