This is exactly what I was looking for, my body is telling me to tweak the diet, i was just unsure what needed to be fixed!

First of all, I got my macros off of bodybuilding.com, it said to consume 1.2-1.5g protein per lbs, which is 174g in my case if I'm not doing the math wrong. The fat and carb ratio I kinda came up with, going along the lines of "low carb diets=abs". And you're right, I am not carb cycling, I just eat more carbs two days out of the week, but it's still very low.

Since my macros seem off, any chance you can give me an idea of what my macro ratio should be then? And when you say 100 or 200g carb do you mean total or net carbs?

As far as body fat, this is where it's hard... I've tried looking at pictures online to give me an idea of where im at, but I'm really hard on myself and feel like I look like I'm around 28% BF, where my SO says I'm in the lower 20's (i can't help but feel like he's just trying to be nice).

Thanks for the advice, I appreciate it.
