Current Weight is around 185lbs, 5'9"

Sounds fairly good to me. Typically I do the bulk of my carbs around workouts or cardio and first thing in the morning. (do not do fasted cardio). Depends how many carbs one eats tho, if eating a lot then you would spread carbs a bit more. As long as youre losing weight slowly, like 1-1.5 lbs a week, and your strength is staying decent, you should be good. Don't eliminate lifting heavy during your cutting too, good luck

Yeah I usually do cardio twice a week right now but I'm going to up that as I think I need to be losing fat a little quicker. I try to do carbs around workouts but since I'm working 9-5 and my workouts are usually late evening, I don't usually get that luxury. Still lifting heavy an I think I'm lifting heavier now than I did before I started dieting since I have more of an end game or goal.

The time of day doesn't matter...if youre lifting or doing cardio you need carbs before and after. That's what your body should be using for energy an this will spare muscle from being metabolized for energy. You will also need them to have the energy to lift heavy

True,I try not to consume that many carbs close to bed because if I do, I tend to store them as fat easier. I also have never noticed any real difference eating a lot of carbs close to workouts versus eating them earlier in the day but of course everyone is different as far as how they utilize energy.

Yeah, I wouldn't worry about carbs at night, it's a myth. If you're depleted from training your body will utilize them not store them. I'd recommend at least doing an occasional carb refeed
