dam can't keep body fat off

Even if I limit kcal, just keep getting blubber around the waist.  Is it due to stress?
33yrs | 24in SVJ | >45% BF | 227LB | 5'9 | 7'5 reach | 400lb max squat paused | 5'8 wingspan | 26in RVJ

Coming back from 2 years of inactivity!

Goal: Maintain 385-405lb squat while cutting down to 165 LB

Cortisol depends on a fat enzyme from what I know, so if you have stress and you need cortisol, then the body will try to get more fat stores available.

Plus if even if you limit kcal and you eat crappy, non-nutritious food, then you might actually lose muscle which in turn will lower your BMR and make you fatter as far as bodyfat% is concerned.
