How to get last bit of fat off?

[kwerk]

I went from 195lb 'permabulker' to 170lb with tentative 6-pack in 6 weeks. I have been stuck at 170 lbs for over a month despite doing the same things, my metabolism must have become extremely more efficient. It absolutely refuses to give up this belly fat. I want to go down to 160lb (for bike riding, and burn off visceral fat for health) but I cant budge this last 10lb. It's all on my lower abdominal and love handle area.

I've tried adding cheat days, doing even lower cals (got a too grumpy though) for a couple weeks, higher cals for a couple week, fasted training, zero carbs for a week. No change.

What do the ocuk musclemen advise?

I weighed myself today for the first time in a few days and I suddenly dropped to 165lb. My belly fat is still there however and I look like I'm losing muscle now instead of this belly fat.

Exercise routine is moderate weights 3x a week. Some walking. Occasionally some cycling or the rowing machine for 30 mins if I have a lot of extra energy.

Diet is basically 100+g of protein, <100g carbs a day, 1000-1500 cals a day. I eat mostly whole foods and try to get good fats, eggs, avocado, a few nuts, meat, coconut milk, fish and most of the carbs come from fruit and maybe a couple slices of bread or a bowl of porridge. Plus 4-6 scoops of optimum nutrition amino energy through out the day which has BCAAs, caffeine and green tea extract.

I have read what I feel is probably broscience about "metabolic damage" and that you should go HIGHER cals. So I experimented with some cheat days and some extra carbs.
