My TRT journey has begun.

Thanks for the reply. Yeah. I feel the 2k is giving me very slow fat loss and slow but steady lean gains. I will give it another month where I am and see what changes I have made. 1500 calories would lean me out fast but I would probably lose some muscle. I want to get leaner and then bump up to 2300 to 2500 a day. I love playing with my calories. Lol. I always have.

As I said above, you're changing at 2000kcal. Forget the scales and the weight. You've made clear changes.

My two cents:

1. Consider sub-q injection. My test levels jumped and my E2 dropped when I switched over and it made a huge difference. My test hopped up to the mid 800s and my E2 dropped into 20 range when I kicked over. That bumped my test by over 100 points and lowered my E2 by around 10.
2. I would do everything I could to stay away from an AI. I was on Adex for awhile and it made it much harder for me to dial in my protocol. It's potent stuff and the difference between its half life and the test and hCG made it really difficult to get the timing down. I crashed my E2 several times with it and it absolutely sucked. You might want to think about bringing your test dose down and see what happens. It was a proportional relationship for me: I dropped from 200mgs of test per week to 100mgs and my e2 dropped by half as well.
3. It didn't take too much of an elevation in my E2 before my libido went to hell. I had a great sex drive initially and then it crashed when the E2 caught up.
