27M. I have lost 5 BMI points, down to 30 from 35, in 5-6 months. I did simple CICO and resistance training (PPL split).

I am a bit exhausted of the caloric deficit now and want a break. I have felt like this before and taken a maintenance phase of 1 week and then continued cutting. Now that I am no longer obese, I feel less inclined to continue.

Should I recompose at my current weight or should I continue cutting? Ultimately I do want to get to at least 28 BMI or lower.

Any help and advice is greatly appreciated.

    I would keep cutting. But I grew up fat and was obsessed with losing weight-until I wasn’t. Once I was happy with my weight did I worry about body composition.

      I grew up fat. I have lost 20 kg twice in my life but gained it all back and more. I don’t want to gain back anything this time, even if I lose a little less.
