Thanks for the comments. I’m not after any specialized diet or workouts for free . Just trying to get feed back but I think I have a grasp on what I need to do. Thank you all. Ill get it figured out.

Sounds like you’re all over the map without much results. My recommendation:
- Pick a single diet, doesn’t even matter which
- Start logging your food every day, what you ate, when, calories & macros
- Start weighing yourself daily, take tape measurements weekly, write both down
- Pick a single workout program, doesn’t even matter which
- Start keeping a gym log every time you work out, exercises, sets, reps and any notes on how you felt.
- Stop changing things then come back in three months with your detailed notes and we’ll solve the problem for you.

At a bodyweight of 193#, and with that exercise regimen, your daily caloric requirement should be well north of 3000. I can think of only two reasons why you would not be able to lose fat when your daily intake drops significantly below this level for a sustained period:
- You have a medical condition that impairs your metabolism (eg, hypothyroidism; low T); or
- you significantly underestimate your caloric intake; ie, you in fact have NOT sustained a significant caloric deficit for an extended period of time.
While everyone should discuss with their MD whether #1 is worth checking out, in my experience, #2 is vastly more common.
I would also add that I think you’re approaching re-comp from the wrong direction. Dropping fat is a function of diet, not exercise. Unless you expend calories at Tour-de-France-competitor levels, you cannot out-train a calorically-generous diet. In fact, increasing exercise often sabotages weight-loss efforts by making the individual hungrier, and thus more likely to overeat.
