Should I reduce calories for my current cut?

Second week on cut but feel it’s going a bit slow and unsure if I should reduce calories and wanting some opinion. I’m lifting 5x per week using the renaissance periodization male physique templates. I’m also doing 600 calories on the elliptical (using the machine calories burned amount) + 1 LISS cardio session at 45-60 min.

Macros right now are somewhere along the lines of 190 protein,225 carb,60 fat. 2200 calories. The macros are just a guideline and I don’t hit those numbers perfectly. Usually my fats sometimes go down to 45-50 and I eat more carbs. My goal is to keep performance up as best as I can because my training volume is high.

Here is my weight loss sheet from the past 9 days: before I started the diet I had a week where I just ate whatever I wanted. That’s why my first day weigh in was quite high.

Day 1: 186
Day 2: 184.4
Day 3: 182.4
Day 4: 180.4
Day 5: 180.4
Day 6: 179.6
Day 7: 181.0
Day 8: 179.2
Day 9: 177.6
