Cutting tips

A good rule of thumb is to lose no more than 0.5%-1% of your body weight each week, leaning towards the lower range for people who are not morbidly obese. For you, 0.5% of 224 is a goal of 1.1 lbs/wk. This means your daily calories eaten will average maintenance calories (the amount of food where your weight doesn't go up nor down) minus 560 per day. Trying to lose faster will often lead to at best lots of grumpiness from eating so little and a desire to quit, at worst multiple different health complications.

How you break up the food between carbs, fat and protein is a highly personal choice, taking into account whether you have any medical limitations, allergies, personal desire to use a specific diet pattern (Keto, Mediterranean, etc), and also what you find personally satisfying (some feel fuller with more fat or protein, others have more energy to get through the day with more carbs). To help reduce the amount of muscle you lose along with body fat, you will want to keep your protein high enough to help support muscle retention, perhaps 0.5g-0.7g of protein per pound of BW, or 112-156g protein each day.

Physical exercise is an excellent tool in our whole-body fitness arsenal, and the best exercise is one which you will actually do consistently. Only you can answer for yourself whether you prefer swimming, running, playing sports, lifting weights, hiking in nature, walking around the block, ball room dancing, karate, or any of a thousand other activities. You may even surprise yourself with what you like if you are willing to experiment a little. But whatever you like to do, being active in an activity you enjoy (and thus are more likely to keep doing) is infinitely better than any theoretically "perfect" exercise somebody else can advise for you that you end up finding excuses to skip.

TL/DR:

Eat 500-600 calories below maintenance each day
Eat at least 110-150 grams of protein per day
Find an activity you enjoy, aim for at least 150 minutes of movement each week

@nossmf makes a good point that, if you have a lot to lose, it's easier to lose it faster. I just want to say that the difficulty of dieting comes from the %deficit.

In other words, at your current weight, your "sedentary maintenance" calorie plan might be 2400kcals/day. (Don't take my word for it, let MFP calculate it for you.) I've found that the most I'm comfortable omitting from my daily intake is about 25% of maintenance, which is 600/2400kcals. Since a pound of fat renders ~3500kcals, you would lose ~(7 x 600)/3500 = ~1.2 lbs/week at that deficit. (*)

Keeping a higher deficit can be really hard. Even 25% can seem difficult at times. You can always reduce your deficit, lose weight slower, and still eventually get to the weight you want. In most cases for men, shooting for 1lb/week loss works pretty well.

Here's the hard part: As you approach your goal weight, your daily calories reduce a bit. You should scale your deficit accordingly.

(*) This is the very close to the same number as @nossmf , just with different reasoning!
