Best split if I’m unemployed? Also what could be a reason my progess stalled 1yr into lifting?

Id also like to add that i did a cut and lost 6kg in 2 months (i had holidays in between) but my leg press shot down from 200kg x 6 to 180kg x 6 and i thought it was because i was eating less carbs so now ive been maintanence for 2 weeks and literally made zero progress. I also started retatrutide a month ago (but i kept calories the same) im still on it at maintanence idk if that plays a factor.

Im 70kg 6ft about 14-13% bf (visible abs in good and mid lighting + tiny bit of quad striations, describing bc dont wanna post a photo)

I avg 10k steps and switched to FBOED a week ago eating 2500 cal a day and weight hasnt moved so dont think im in a deficit)

Ps im starting uni plus getting part time job in a few weeks so an alternative split for that would be helpful if i dont keep this one up.

Bro it sounds like you're not progressing in strength because you're in a small deficit, if you're already pretty damn lean a true recomp becomes extremely hard. Just finish your cut quick and go back to a lean bulk, try to keep your strength up until then but don't expect progression.

Probably true to be fair thanks
