I'm looking to loose body fat I'm at about 20% right now and want to drop to 15-17% or so. Here is my question I eat clean, Lean meat whole oats and so on I rtacked me calories and yesterday I ate

1600 should be about right. I would start there and if you don't start losing then I would cut it down to 1500 after 2 weeks.. I'm about the same height but only weight 5 pounds less than u and that is what I lose fat at. Of course it does depend upon LBM. However, start at 1600 and go from there. Your macros looks good too
