Could do with some advice on a possible Plateau?

Hi Peeps,

Stats: 6ft1" Male, 232 Pounds, 19 Y/O, Sedentary Job currently doing a Push/Pull/Legs split 6 days a week training (20mins HIIT on Push days).

Currently lost about 28 pounds and went really smooth, was tracking religiously through MFP which had me at about 1700 calories a day and was losing on average 2/3 pounds a week whilst noticing some newbie muscle gains. Always try to be on point with macros and food choices are 80% good (3 meals a week may have chips in and salt which im trying to reduce and replace for more healthier alternatives).

The problem starts a couple weeks ago, Hovering at the 230 ish mark still training 6 days a week weight training with 2x HIIT sessions on top of that, i fluctuated my calories to see what my ACTUAL maintenance is (which through a week trial and error was about 1850/1900 roughly, HOWEVER, TDEE calculators say my maintenance should be around 2300?), so i have been eating around 1700 whilst burning more calories off through cardio but the weight won't shift, nothing drastically has changed in my diet if im being completely honest so im confused as to why the progress has stopped, i don't drink fizzy drinks or anything (just water) or alcohol or any liquid calories for that matter (apart from milk with protein shake but i track that). Any suggestions would be brilliant as i really dont fancy dropping my calories to like 1500 a day because i dont feel like that is sustainable.

Any feedback would be much appreciated as it's really de-motivating to see no weight loss when im working hard for it.

Thanks
