intermittent fasting + keto(lean protein only while the body depletes fat reserves) + calorie deficit of 750 + daily multi vitamin
this combo will have you lean asf
for me i lose around 20 pounds a month on it
only takes 2 months from winter to summer to get the 6 pack back
for muscle growth and conversion no calorie deficit
I think your advice is spot-on but losing 20 lbs a month is too much/too drastic. I think you are only supposed to lose 1 kg, which is about 2.2 lbs, a week or so, so that's about 9 kg (or so) a month, at the most.
Personally I find going (almost) vegetarian helps quite a bit, too. Although you will need to watch your intake of major nutrients such as vitamin, especially vitamins that can only be found in animal products. When I was going almost full vegetarian, I found that the pounds melted off fast, but I also got cold extremities, plus I bruised very easily. There was this one time when I literally was feeling light-headed and very unwell and had to rush to the nearest meat-shack to get some serious red meat/protein.
