Does anyone have advice on reducing body fat? What macros to use.
I’m going strength training 5-6 days a week and cardio 10mjns each day

Consistent Caloric Deficit. End of story.
Macros are largely personal preference and can help with satiety/adherence to you deficit. Adequate protein (0.8 g/lb is usually more than sufficient) paired with your strength training will help minimize muscle loss as you lose weight.7 -
Don't lose too fast unless you are very obese. Losing at a high rate when you are in the overweight range or not too far into the obese range can cause you to lose more muscle than losing at a more reasonable rate like 1% or less of body weight per week.0

Actually, macros ARE important to me. Maybe it's because diabetes runs in my family. I need to be under 40% carbs or I can't lose no matter what my calories. 35% is better. That is NOT low carb, it means I've just upped my protein.3

I run 45% carbs personally. Enough to get my energy, but we are all different.0
