I do NOT recommend an enhanced guy to cut naturally. despite what a lot of guys may say on here (i.e., cutting is easy and you don't need gear), the truth is that bodybuilders since the golden era have ALWAYS used more gear during a contest prep and dieting phase then they did/do for a bulking phase.
the difference between a natural pro bodybuilder who is 160 pounds on stage and an enhanced pro bodybuilder who is 270 pounds on stage is that the drugs allow you to not only maintain but build muscle while dieting down. both these guys can bulk up and get huge, but the natty cannot diet down and stay huge, and enhanced guy can.
the fastest way to lose your gains is to come off cycle and PCT and begin cutting while on PCT.
getting your body to acclimate to your new gains is extremely important. if you went from 180 to 200, then you need to 'earn' that 200 pounds. you need to stay there and get your body used to that and make that its new set point, if you don't then your body will just want to go back down to 180 (and its going to want to do this by losing muscle not fat)
I'd take those points and think about it. you may want blast and cruise or go on TRT. instead of a cut at a future date you may want to consider a recomp . if you want to blast and cruise then take time to do research the risk vs rewards and your long term consequences or benefits (e.g.., do you want to have kids in the near future, how will cruising on gear effect that).
