This is MFP shortfall in planning and tracking and where a bit of black art comes in. The macros look good, remind yourself of your bodies requirements, 1-1.5 g / lb of protein and 0.3-0.4g / lb of fat, make the rest up with carbs. Carbs to be after workouts primarily I say we make inroads into fat loss first, then we can readjust once we've lost a few lbs of fat. Remember : you can't lose muscle overnight, it's only glycogen stores, if it is worrying you then have a refeed day, say 300g carbs, but work all the muscles ! Just keep the faith brother. It takes time and patience, listen to your body, monitor how it reacts to how you feed it, learn how the carbs effect you, then you can predict and manipulate the food quantities to how you you want react. Your doing a good job of a difficult concept to master.
