Advice on macros

I started tracking calories using a kitchen scale and MFP cause I need to lose weight (want to lose about 20 pounds from 169 to 149 at 6' tall). I used to be 149-154 2 years ago.

I do weightlifting to gain and preserve my muscles and strength for general well-being.

I regularly go mountain biking or running so I'm fairly active and the less I weigh within reason the higher will my FTP will be in W/kg.

I try to eat protein, carbs and fats in every meal.

Today i ran a deficit of ~650 Kcal according to data from MFP and my Garmin watch. I don't feel hungry after dinner at this deficit, maybe a bit peckish. My deficit most days is purely from exercise. Like today i ate 1920 Kcal and burned total 2600 (8.5 mi run).

Example today's macros are 152 g protein, 172 g carbs, 74 g fats.

Obviously each day is gonna be little bit different.

How are my macros? Anything to change?

Thanks for reading!
