Will it work? First cycle test e

[45acp]

Long time lurker. Have never run a cycle before. Current stats are 42 yo 6'3. 245 lbs 21% bf. Have lost over 100 lbs the last year and a half. Tdee is 3100 cals, I eat around 2000 a day. Eat high protein, low carb/ fat diet. All my cals come from meats , veggies nuts, and fruits, egg whites and some dairy. No breads, snacks, or processed foods. I do cardio 4 times a week, and a HIT style weight program 4 days a week. Problem is, fat loss has come to a crawl. Thinking of running a 12 week cycle to get me to my goal of 15% bf. I know that running a cycle at 21% bf is not recommended due to estrogen sides. I will be running an Aromatase inhibitor (AI) and have e levels checked every 3 weeks. Diet will remain clean, maybe bump it up to 2500 cals a day. Workout will also remain the same, maybe add 15 min to my cardio. Cycle plan is
Week 1-12 500 mg test e
Week 1-14 .25mg adex eod
Week 1-13 500 iu HCG
PCT
Clomid 100/50/50/50
Nolva 40/40/20/20

Will I lose the weight and keep the muscle I've built, or am I wasting my time?

I would suggest having bloodwork done by a doctor. You could have low T, which would explain the inability to lose the remaining fat. With that sort of calorie deficit you should be shedding the pounds. If you do have low testosterone you would be a candidate for testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) which dramatically help if that's the case.

Test was 630 last month. Funny I was actually hoping it was low. Ive had to drop cals over the last few months to keep losing. I'm afraid my metabolism is starting to take a hit. Willing to try 1800 cals a day, just don't want to kill my metabolism. If you think it wouldn't be a problem i'll give it a go. Thanks

I don't see a problem with your cycle (HCG is something I can't really comment on), but I would definitely head over to the diet section first and put up a post in 3J's diet thread. Read the directions on how he wants it all laid out first, and I'm sure he'll help you make any needed changes to your existing diet that need tweaking. AAS can and will help you, but your results would be that much better if you chose to attack it from both a dietary and hormone angle.

Taking Test E @500mgs/week + you being @21% bf, I would really be agressive with the Aromatase inhibitor (AI). I know you said your gonna check it every 3 weeks but I'm thinking you should start @0.5mgs/EOD with your stats. That's just my opinion...

I would run aromasin if I were you. 25mg a day and start a week before you begin your cycle.
