I'm willing to bet you are not eating as much protein as you might think
I always thought I was getting enough protein, and then I started actually measuring and tracking my macros, and I was not getting nearly as much as I thought
I try to get 220 g of daily protein. Before I starting tracking, I was maybe getting 120 g, despite calling my diet "high protein".

protein isnt the place to cut. its fat and carbs. protein has a muscle sparing effect and has by far the biggest effect on dietary induced thermogenesis.
for you, start at 150g and actually raise that as you cut calories or replace carb/fat calories with protien.
once you are at 60-65% of calories from protein....pretty much maxed out benefits unless you are doing a psmf.

Same here. I usually have to eat 20-30 g before bed to get it in for the day.
