I’d disagree with such a small deficit.
1500kcal deficit a day is too much, especially if very active, but a 250kcal deficit is such a small margin per day and within the margin of error of portion size differences and exercise calorie tracking differences, that no progress may be made at all.
Also being motivated when you’re losing 200g per week, when your weight fluctuates over 1kg per day is hard work.

Sustainable deficit will work and drastic deficit will fail.
Go from 3000 to 2500 or 2750. Don’t try going from 3000 to 1500.
