I'm 6'-3" 195 and currently taking in 1700 cals/day.
Heading on a beach vacation in 3 weeks trying to cut as much as I can.
Working out 4 days a week and macros at 25/30/45 C/F/P

TDEE calculator puts my maintenance calories at 2,611 including gym days.
I also get 10k-14k steps a day.

I’m down 3.5 pounds in a week.
Hitting 200g of protein with 1750 cals. a day. Do I need to adjust?

Oh yeah that’s for sure probably it. I forgot about the water weight at first. I stopped taking creatine also.

Would you not want to do a re-feed and up your carbs some right before the trip?

Had an InBody done. Maybe this can explain why I’m only 163 but want to cut some belly fat. It’s the only place on me that’s pudgy. Everywhere else is pretty rock solid with chicken legs. (Yes I do legs hard)

You do have fricking twig legs. That sucks. 77 SMM is tiny too. Maybe because your legs are like toothpicks.

Yep.
Arms were just as bad but at least the muscle stayed on my arms. My arse looks bigger but my quads are still baby quads and I kill those.

Think of your legs like fat burners. Legs are where you can store most of your muscle mass which helps burn cals. Build those up

Edit - never mind. Just saw it’s 27 pounds of body fat and 17% body fat.

Haven't read the whole thread so may be missing some important bits, (like what your day job is - if you're a nurse or professional jogger or something where your calorie burn is actually crazy high this probably isn't applicable) but this stuck out:
Your calories are high for how much you are lifting. IMO. I think you can safely cut calories without being concerned with losing muscle. But really, I'd say keep the calories and add a day to your routine, probably another heavy leg day if you can. You'll build muscle in the lower half lean out everywhere.
If you can't add a day, just drop some calories (maybe get to 2200-2300) and try to keep your protein up above 180-190g.
My last mini-bulk I was around 2500-3000 calories (targeted 2600 with 198g P) and steady climbed from 170 to 185 (took about 6 months), and was only just starting to slow down when I did my next cut.
Don't pay too much attention to your FitBit calories. It's a useful reference, but what your body is actually doing is the #1 guide you should be following. If you have a very good maintenance level established, a little calories go a long way, especially if you add some cardio the last few weeks.
