My goal is to loose weight and get lean

I’m training 4x a week moderately intense

My cardio isn’t really up to scratch but slowing getting there as it’s only been 3 weeks I’ve gone back to the gym.

Diet and lifting are more important than cardio, you should still get cardio in for other health reasons but you can't out run a bad diet. For me what I usually reccomend is nice and simple, take your bodyweight and multiply it by 10-12, 10 if you are fairly sedintary outside of the gym, 12 if you are active most of the day, that's what you eat in cals a day, set protein at 1g per lbs, then chose weither fats or carbs are more important to you, if you can't stick to the diet long term you will fail, assign most of the rest of your cals to whatever you choose, just don't try to completely cut out fats, they are important for hormonal response. Lift 3-4 times a week for now, and try and do some cardio about 3 times a week. Stick to these recommendations for at least a few weeks and you will start watching it fall off.

Oh also, use MyFitnessPal or similar and get a good scale, people usually serverly underestimate what they consume, even if you are using measuring cups etc, it's a pain at first but eventually you get to realize what 100g of rice looks like

Eating 2000 calories for 3 weeks at 204lbs and haven’t lost weight? You are probably eating more than 2000 calories or you have another issue.

And you are saying your MAX squat went from 20-60kg so tripled in 3 weeks aswell? That is unheard of. Primarily because squatting 44lbs (20kg) should be repped out PLENTY of times by a 200lb man lol....

I am so utterly confused.

2000 calories is like at LEAST - 700-800 deficit without cardio...so I don’t know how something like this scenario is possible. Have you weighed yourself?
