My advice is get it over with quickly, do a very steep caloric deficit. It will temporarily fuck up your short term health/hormones but if you're only doing it for say a 3 or 4 week minicut you'll just hop back on your regular diet when you're done and all will be well. Just get your macros and micros

Don't do a long cut unless you care about growing taller which as someone who's also 6'1 it's a good height but you can always be taller
