What multiplier did you use to calculate your TDEE?
At the moment I'm below 150 most days but I'm spacing it evenly throughout each meal excluding bedtime casein and 1 meal.
160carbs on leg days (2x a week) 120grams of carbs normal working days and 90grams of carbs on off day
I used the Harris-Benedict formula to calculate my TDEE factoring in 12% bf and multiplying my BMR by 1.725 for my activity level.

One of the gyms I go to finally got a stepmill so the cardio is upped (along with the intensity) as of this week.
