Starting Var- Need macro advice

[Fiercefitfemale]

I'm starting my first cycle soon of 10mg var for 6-8 weeks.

I'm currently 27, 5'3, 125 pounds, 17-20% BF (get different results from different measurement tools). I lift heavy 4x week and do HIIT 2x a week. Full rest on Sunday.

I currently cycle my macros:
Training days: 1790 cals; 120g protein, 170g carbs, 70g fat
HIIT only days- 1410 cals; 120g protein, 120g carbs, 50g fat

These macros have been working for me thus far, but I have heard so many mixed reviews about bumping up or cutting down calorie intake when starting a cycle. My goal for my cycle is to lose (stubborn) fat and gain Lean muscle. Does anyone have any suggestions? Should I stick with the macros I've been doing?

I would drop the calories from fat to around 0.3 - 0.4g per pound of body weight.

What is your TDEE? That will help determine your total caloric intake which you would get to by adjusting carbs. If you want to lose fat, try to achieve a 500kcal caloric deficit per day. Despite being in a deficit, you should still be able to add some muscle mass given sufficient Protein intake, sleep and the Var. But not as much as you would if you were bulking.
