Is it okay to start cutting at this point?

Definitely care about nutrition especially now. If you are noticeably overweight (20+%bf) then aim for a small deficit of 300-500 calories. Avoid 1,000+ calorie deficits. If you are "Skinny-Fat" or are already relatively lean (12-18%bf) then don't cut at all. Eat 0.8-1.0g of protein per pound of boyweight. Inclue whole eggs, avocado and nuts (healthy fats). Get sufficient Zinc, magnesium, vitamin d3 and omega3-s. Train hard and sleep 8+ hours.
