Loose Skin and Fatigue

[hendogheav]

For reference, the profile picture I have is a picture of me at the gym. The last in body scan that I took yesterday placed me at around 23.7% body fat. I am 6'3" (190.5cm) without shoes on and 245lbs (111kg). Today, December 1st, marks the beginning of my cut. I will be doing an hour maintenance lift each day followed by an hour of moderate to intense cardio 6 days a week. It is easy for me to do that considering the fact that that is the schedule for my basketball practices. I am not doing this cut with any kind of enhancers like a GLP. I am simply eating 1 high protein meal a day followed by a little carby snack before basketball. I always have and will continue to drink over a gallon of water each day. I am taking supplements like fish oils, zinc, magnesium, and vitamins.
I gave this method a test run for the last 2 weeks and am already down about 5 lbs. It is easy to do because I am busy in the mornings and can manage the hunger until the afternoon. I have two main concerns.
The first, for the near future, at least until mid February is that I could potentially face fatigue on the basketball court. I start at my high school on the basketball team and am worried that my cut will affect my performance on the court. I want to know if I could potentially face serious performance and fatigue issues on the basketball court. If so, how can I avoid them?
The second concern I have is about loose skin. I am no where near obese but I am a bigger dude with some belly fat. Will I have ugly loose skin or will I be okay at 23.7% body fat. Im interested to learn if there is any way to completely avoid loose skin. Thank you for your imput.

Don't worry about loose skin, just don't starve yourself.
If you want to prevent getting lean from inhibiting your performance, and don't want to take AAS, then take stimulants.
