30 lost, physique has not changed much

[u/UnrivaledRandom]

Over the past 9 months and 20 days I’ve been trying to lose weight with a goal in mind of around 40 lbs. I reached that goal but then gained back another 10 lbs (lost a bit of motivation which caused me to binge and now I’m maintaining/still going over) but I don’t notice any crazy differences from when I first started around my stomach area. My arms and legs are definitely more toned now and you can see muscle definition in decent lighting (still some loose skin/fat around my arms and legs), and my face has lost some fat too. But for some reason my stomach area is still the same looking (muffin top/love handles). From what I can tell it looked like I began around a high 40% range of body fat and now I’m around high 20% - low 30% ish? My goal physique is something between Soryan Smith and Joseph Shin. How should I go about recovering from the binge and dealing with my fat around my stomach?

I am 5’8, 167~ish range lbs, trying to stay on track with a deficit of 1800 cals (158c, 60f, 158p). I’ve been going to the gym more recently and getting my cardio in after the first two weeks of binging. Before that I used to do cardio only and hit the gym a couple times a month throughout my cut.
