I have put about two months into trimming down.
I dropped my calories to 1,800 a day on a 60/20/20 diet and it is going very well so far. I am down 15 pounds total (210 to 195), and I think I have still continued to put muscle on (albeit slowly) - so I have lost more than 15 pounds of fat.
Believe it or not, my "before" picture is after putting on a LOT of muscle and losing a LOT of fat...so you can imagine how awful I looked at the beginning of the year when I got back to the gym after six years off from a spinal injury.
I have six weeks until the end of the year and I am working hard to see how good I can look in exactly one year of work. I ONLY WISH I HAD PUT MORE EMPHASIS ON DIET FROM THE START!
