What I would consider for your goals is hitting the weights harder, dropping the TRX and start doing fasted LISS (Low Intensity Steady State) cardio. 30 minutes a day, 8-max incline 4mph, 4x a week. Once I introduced this cardio in line with my keto based diet, youll be sure to shred.

a lot easier to be in a caloric surplus when you're eating rice wouldn't you say? ;) As you said it is possible to cut with eating carbs but if it takes you a lot more time whats the point? Isn't the goal to do these things as fast as possible?
I wouldn't recommend low intensity steady state or whatever you call it to anyone but a senior with a heart condition or someone recovering from injury.. Talk about testosterone stalls... basically anything longer than 20 mins cuts into gains, anything cutting into gains is slowing down fat burn. Hard and fast keeps test peaked from your workout plus has you burning calories for the rest of the day/night in the process where as long and slow stops as soon as you do. If your heart is up for it go hard for 10-15 then go home!
I understand where you get this from though, lots of gigantores at the gym finishing their workouts doing long and slow on the treadmills, but the thing is with them they are generally pretty lean already and not one of them gets cut faster than I do with my method.. took me about 25 years of trouble shooting to figure it all out but is very effective in a short spell.
edit: i just realized the Phil I was talking to.. I started on this path from your advice last year actually, your new avatar threw me off.
