Is there a more efficient way to lose weight & build strength?

Hi guys,

Backstory; Started training ~2 months ago. Weighed 96.8kg 6"1 BMI 28.2. Now weight 92.1kg BMI 26.8. The goal is to get down to 75kg~ 22BMI~.

I used the TDEE calculator, and currently based on moderate exercsise it says I should be eating ~3000 cals a day. Currently, diet is 2400 cals, consists of the following (macros are carb, protein, fat);

• Breakfast (Either of the two)
  • 60g porrige, 300ml semi-skimmed milk, 25g peanut butter, 25g whey powder, 1 apple (720~ cals, 77, 43, 26 macros)
  • 25g rolled oats, 25g bran flakes, 300ml semi-skimmed milk, 25g whey powder, 15g raisins, 10g almonds, 10g walnuts, 5g cherries, 7g milled chia seeds, 1 apple (750~ cals, 88, 41, 25 macros)
• Lunch/Dinner (Always have the same base meal, the seasonings/sauces change weekly but remain within cal limits. Last week for example I did BBQ chicken, week before that sweet chilli chicken)
  • 250g chicken breast, 50g mixed bell peppers, 30g white onion, 20g closed cap mushrooms, 200g chopped tomato, 30g tomato puree
    • 1 Jacket potato ~220g, 20g cheddar cheese (800~ cals, 36, 45, 19 macros)
    • 125g long-grain ready to eat rice (650~ cals, 33, 51, 16 macros)
• Snacks (I don't have snacks often, usually just to meet the 2400 cal mark)
  • Protein balls (158 cals, 26, 39, 35 macros)
  • Cheese string (70 cals, 6, 29, 65 macros)
  • 2 Crackers and 20g peanut butter (160~ cals, 22, 17, 61 macros)

I typically end the day on 40/40/20 with +-5% carbs/fat.

Currently, weekly excersise routine is as follows

• Achieve 10k steps every day
• 5x 1hr strength and fitness class (Todays class as an example below)
  • Part A (x4)
    • 5x eccentric front-squat with 3-sec pause
    • 30 sec plank shoulder touches
    • 60s break
  • Part B (x4)
    • 10x each side DB strict press
    • 12x supine pull up
    • 90s break
  • Part C (AMRAP 10 mins)
    • Max cals on rowing machine
    • Every minute 10x air squat or 10x push ups alternating
• 1x 2hr bouldering/rock climbing session. No structure here, just climbing walls

Using that information, is it likely I am maximising my time on the weight loss/strength building journey, or should I make adjustments to my diet/training plan to better utilise my time? I apologise if this isn't the right place to post this.

Thanks in advance
