There isn't one formula out there that will work for everyone.
Sounds like your going for a recomp - which is what I did for my last cycle. Some advice coming from my experience would be:
1. As a person with a fast metabolism, gear will speed it up even more requiring a LOT of calories. I was eating 3200-3500 calories and losing weight as a 5'11 195lb person. I had to add in Mcdonalds after my workouts to not lose weight and continue to grow.
2. Keep an honest count of what your eating. It is very easy to think you are eating over 3000 calories when you actually are not.
3. Sleep, diet and training are still going to govern your progress. Don't skimp on sleep and if you are stressed look for ways to reduce this.
4. Consistency is key. This is not a 3 month journey for your one cycle. Keep working out with intensity even when off the test (much harder I know) and eating big even though you will not be as hungry.
Good luck with your first cycle hope to hear more about how it goes!
