This might not exactly be what you’re looking for but here’s what six years of very consistent lifting while controlling diet looks like for me.
Left: July 2015, 168lbs ~18% body fat
Right: June 2021 (Monday evening) 174lbs ~11%
I’m meticulous about tracking my intake and a little fanatical about data collection but it’s worked well for me. For reference, age-wise that was from 26 to 32 currently and I’m 6’1”. I’m currently following Renaissance Periodization’s nutrition and workout templates and like them a lot, though I have only adopted them in the last few months and have tried a lot of different things in the past finding what works well for me.5 -

Still pretty bad *kitten* results. Ill have to look up what you have mentioned, once i stop getting results with just doing CICO.0 -

It still all comes down to CICO but I have seen some qualitative advantages to RP's principles in terms of gym performance and body composition/aesthetics. I do highly recommend checking out their website, podcast, and Mike Isratel's youtube channel if you do want to learn more of the science side.
Beyond overall adherence to the correct number of calories for your goal, their methodology encourages lean proteins, healthy carb sources (whole grains and fruit), and healthy fats with protein dosed consistently throughout the day to optimize utilization, and vegetables at every meal. It's a pretty common sense approach; eat as high quality food as is practical in the right amounts for your goals.
I'm following the advanced, 6-day, full body version of their Men's Physique Template. Boils down to a hypertrophy focused PPLPPL with built in deloads and auto-regulation to ramp volume and RIR in between. I'm only on week 3 of the first meso and really digging it. The Mrs. has already made a few unsolicited comments, which is nice. Thankfully, I think I've overcome some significant stagnation in my aesthetic progress in the last year or so with better programming and actually doing a lean bulk last fall.0 -

Thats awesome! I believe i have a bit of muscle under the fat i have, even at 283 alot of ppl thought i was at most 240s. I carry weight in a way that shocks most people when they hear my weight compared to how i look like i weigh. Im 283 in my profile.0 -

There has gotta be more people who are closer to 6'4 and where close to 270 when they started thier transformation.
Or do only people under 6' and 270 visit this site?1 -

Nice, how you do it, just watching what you eat? How long did it take you?
Three years ago i was in a accident and was in a wheelchair for almost 8 months. People thought because i was 280+ that i would gain weight, i lost 40lbs in just the 2 weeks i was in the hospital somehow, by the end of the 8 months i had lost 83lbs. I gained it all back a year later.2 -

Just eat right portion .. in the calories mfp suggested.. took at least 8months or more.. was couple years ago.. on maintenance now..
Still ate fast food.. had ice creams etc.. only drastic thing I did was stop drinking sodas.. used to drink a lot.... now hardly any. Mostly water nowadays.0 -

I also cut out, soda, amazing how many calories i was drinking! Just water, and every now and then once or twice a week ill have a coke zero. Just water other than that, and black iced coffee1 -

Calories will always be the driver for weight loss but I find the default macro recommendation (50% C 20%P 30%F) to be too low protein if on a cut. That's enough protein to achieve the minimum RDA but suboptimal for preserving and/or gaining lean mass. I maintain well at 40/30/30 and cut closer to an even 33% split (aiming for ~1 lb/week loss).
0.6-0.8 g protein/lb body weight is shown to be more optimal for muscle gain/retention
0.3-0.5 g fat/lb is what I've seen recommended for healthy fat intake
Fill out the rest of your calories with carbs (the more whole grains and fruit the better) at 4 cal/g0 -

I changed my macro percentages to match exactly those numbers. I believe i am around 180lbs of lean muscle mass at 260lbs and 6'4. Im at 180grams protein if i did the math right, 92 grams fat and the rest is carbs.0 -

180g protein is probably a good target, don't sweat it too much if you end up +/- 20g or so on a given day. The biggest driver is still consistently being in a caloric deficit. I also agree that if you trim down the gut you'll be in great shape aesthetically; you look to have good size in your chest and shoulders already.
What loss rate/daily deficit are you aiming for? A 1% drop in total body weight per week is about the maximum you can do and have it primarily be fat, though I find I really struggle with hunger and energy levels at that big of a deficit (for me it's ~1.7-1.8 lbs/week so ~-900/day). However, if I stick closer to 0.5% for a goal I can hit that consistently much easier. Sure it takes a little longer but it's a much more pleasant experience and I struggle less with adherence and consistency. Aggressive goals are fine so long as the don't reduce your consistency so much that they're unsustainable. If you have any history of binge-type eating or an all-or-nothing type personality I'd be wary of trying to push the deficit too hard.0 -

My thought originally was to get into the 190s, but i am thinking ill try to drop 10lbs a month and see where im happy. My problem i think was i was drinking my calories in sugary drinks, i believe from my calorie intake now of 2092, and seeing the portion sizes. Between what i was eating and drinking, im guessing i was probably taking in 6000 calories a day give or take.0 -

That's probably about the most aggressive I would try and go. At 6'4" and your build, I'd guess 210-215 would probably look solid at <20% body fat (assuming your assessment of 180 lbs lean mass and mostly fat loss to get there). For reference, pre-2015 I hadn't really done much real lifting, only some haphazard stuff through high school and college and dabbling with stuff like p90x '11-14 so I've probably added close to 15lbs of lean mass (~140 to 155) if the metrics I have are accurate.0 -

Im only using the BMI to estimate my lean muscle mass. I don't lift at all, I have a pretty active job, as a pipefitter/welder.. i pick heavy pipe, valves, fittings and tools up all day long. I also pull on chain falls with hundreds of pounds of weight on, and pull on the chain till the material is sometimes 20+ feet up. Of course the chain fall takes most the weight off me, so im not actually pulling the full weight, but itll still burns the shoulders, pulling on the chain. I also go up and down sometimes 4 floors of stairs a few times a day, and walk close to 8 miles a day combined.. i think my problem is that i just ate and drank to many calories.
Itll be a trial and error, ive only been trying to lose the weight about 6 weeks now.1 -

This was 8 months from about January 2019 to August 2019. About 265 lbs to 195 lbs at 6'3". The Covid period had me put 20-30 pounds back on and ruin my consistency, which I have just about lost again so I'm basically at the same build, with perhaps a couple pounds of extra muscle. The plan is to go down to 185 and do a recomposition from there. According to my body fat scale, I should be at around 17-18% body fat when I get there.
We're coming out of a lockdown soon so hopefully I can start working out in the gym again, which is tremendously more efficient for me, and bothers my neighbours quite a bit less. Until then I've been enjoying focussing on Cardio.
The first time it was just simple CICO with a focus on protein intake. This time what has stuck has been some extended fasting weekly while still counting as it's less restrictive daily.
Unfortunately I don't have good genetics for really looking good without a shirt. My chest is still quite flabby here (and presently), which I am somewhat strategically blocking with my arm. I hope this will go away with the extra 10 pounds of loss. If not that, I'm going to have to get to a stupid low body fat when I'm at 185 before I can start putting weight back on.5 -

Thats impressive to me, the change you had made. Your about my weight when you started.
Im also doing 8/16 intermittent fasting, daily. However, on the weekends i have had a hard time following the CICO and the fasting. I have gone as far as taking in over 1000 calories past my 2092 set for me to lose 2lbs a week.0 -

I appreciate the commendation.
You will look much better than I do as you lose weight. Your chest, delts and traps are all very well developed, they'll really start to pop out as you trim down. This makes sense, I believe I read that you had a very physical job that you have been doing for years. You probably have a good 10 pounds of muscle on me; for me to look like you when you reach 195 will probably take me a full year of really concentrated effort after I reach 185. This is of course provided you work out as you trim down and get in adequate protein. My most developed musculature is in my legs, which while helpful, especially for heavy strength training, is not as aesthetically pleasing for a man.
I am glad intermittent fasting is working for you, unfortunately it didn't quite work for me. After the very strict 8 months I found I kept falling off the wagon, the most sustainable approach for me ended up being an extended fast every week. This is definitely not everyone's cup of tea, but it was really helpful mentally to take it from a daily pass/fail to a weekly pass/fail.
Good luck! Keep going.

Thank you, other than losing the fat over the muscle, i would say my legs are something i would definitely like to work on as far as getting bigger. Maybe its just me, but my legs are strong too just disproportionate to my underbody, because i walk all day and my job is my only activity. I also, have bad ankles, i have screws in one ankle, and a rod in that same leg from a break that goes from my knee to that same ankle as well as plate in that same foot. My other ankle im August of this year is getting replaced, never knew they did ankle replacements, but they do. 2 months non weight bearing, and a full recovery in 6-12 months. Yuck
Your story so far for me has been what im looking for when i posted this thread0 -
Im going to start a 5x5 weight lifting routine. See if that will help me maintain my muscle while trying to get this fat off. Functional strength is all i need.0

Must be more short people in this site than tall.0

I typed in what i could think of no real results. Not that i found. Thanks for the suggestion though. I always reset or unplug my electronics before asking for tech support also.0
