Is It Possible?
I've been cutting now for 7 weeks. My bodyfat has dropped from 29% to 19%. Weight from 277 lbs to 248 lbs. This is my diet 7 days a week. 2220 calories. 24% carbs, 60% protein and 16% fat. I train 4 days a week and do cardio 5 days a week for 30 hard min's. My question is can I still build muscles even though I'm in a calorie deficeit?

"in the howling bleeding nights, the dogs plunge into the Volga and swim desperately to gain the other bank. The nights of Stalingrad are a terror for them. Animals flee this hell; the hardest stones cannot bear it for long; only men endure."

The very obese and some newbies can - they will loose weight but gain lean mass at the same time...

Maybe maintain, but doubtful to build

Highly doubtful. Especially at the rate you are cutting. I'm willing to bet that you are losing muscle mass. I suggest no more than 1 pound per week if you want to maintain your LBM as much as possible. 2 pounds per week can be done, but I definitely lost a little LBM when I was cutting at that rate.
The only time it's bad to feel the burn is when you're peeing...
