T3 & Clen - Increase or decrease carbs?

[Pseudonymble]

While dieting for the last 12 weeks I have been at:

225 carbs
200 protein
65 fat

Those numbers put me at a 600 calorie deficit.

Now I added T3 & clen (keto on hand for cleaning receptors)
500 test cyp weelky
100 anavar daily
1 mg arimidex daily

I understand that T3 can be catabolic which is why I have the test and var, but I am now focusing on calories and macros.
I increased my protein from 200 to 250 per day, but I am not sure if I should drop or raise my carbs to help preserve muscle mass.

Thoughts?

i would add another 25-50g of carbs imo.
T3 rapidly depletes atp. Then the body turns to fat and muscle to replenish atp stores and for energy. In my experience you have to eat adequate carbs while taking t3 or you will lose too much muscle. even on a cycle.
i have never tried carb cycling while using t3 ..may be good option as well ...dunno.

Thanks for the replies!
I am tempted to lower carbs down to 150 to help with fat loss (I seem to respond better to lower carbs when dieting) but muscle preservation is my number one focus. I worked too dam hard to put this muscle on. The last thing I want to do is shed 15 lbs only to find out that half of it was muscle mass.
So, IYO I should add a bit more carbs to my daily numbers:

250 Protein
250-275 carbs
65 fat

I forgot to mention that I incorporate a weekly refeed where I double carbs, cut fat in half and only eat 75% of my regular Protein.

Sounds like a good plan to me. I found I really do need to eat carbs when i take t3 ..which was contradictory to how i would cut prior to using it. I always cut back on carbs ...but with t3 you will lose too much muscle..plus you will be amazed how the bf comes off. Id go with it..and remember nothing is etched in stone..after a couple weeks you can always adjust if u arent satisfied with progress.
