Cutting at 180 — weekly deficit targets?

Male, 180 lbs, intermediate. Want to get leaner over 12 weeks without tanking lifts. What weekly rate of loss has worked for you?

0.5–1% of bodyweight per week is a sustainable range for most intermediates. Track scale + waist + strength weekly, not daily scale drama.

I keep protein high and only cut carbs around rest days. Training volume stayed mostly intact.
