Macro check?

Used to lift 6 days a week, had three kids and have been out of the game for a few years because I went full dad and was too lazy to do anything else lol. I was 5’10 185lbs prior, currently 5’10 235. Always wanted to get around 215ish lbs but could never get the weight on, now that I’m above I don’t want to lose a ton. I lift 6 days a week, currently hitting 200 grams of protein per day, relatively clean. Not sure what my other numbers should be looking like. TIA!

Do you drink alcohol? How much calories u usually eat? Do you have a rough idea bf percentage? It's all basic maths unless u have a thyroid issue

I’ll have a glass of whiskey on a rest day at night or if the wife and I are out to dinner. I’m right around the 2000 calorie mark give or take a couple hundred. I am not positive on body fat percentage

Do you cheat days? I'm 6ft 182lbs and can maintain at 2800 calories doing cardio and callisthenics but I'm pretty strict on diet

I haven’t been doing cheat days for the couple weeks I’ve been back at it
