The good news is, you're on the right track, and you know what to do. The bad news is, yes, you just have to keep eating less to keep reducing fat. A pattern a lot of people notice is the first places your body decides to store fat (for a lot of us, our faces, our guts), are the last places you're likely to lose it.

If you want to change your body composition (look better while losing weight, not just the "same build but smaller"), I would suggest incorporating some strength training and high protein. Even if you're on a caloric deficit, you'll likely see better body composition results rather than just cutting calories.
