is significant muscle loss inevitable without proper nutrition or gear while on a cut?

im not able to hit protein/macro goals consistently right now (if i were able to i would)

but i am training with 3.5x frequency if it even matters

and i have a bit of muscle mass but still a lot of fat, sitting at around 19-20% body fat 6'1, 180. would i end up skinny fat at the end of the cut without proper nutrition?

sorry for the bombardment of questions

So many factors and genetics are a big role here, just do the best you can that’s all you can do
