1500 intake at your current weight + bike riding, sounds like on some days you are approaching 0-500 kcals for the day?
A 2500 kcal deficit is basically starvation. Which clearly will work for weight loss, but unsurprising that you’re feeling lethargic!
Definitely recommend reviewing the calorie intake, otherwise you will rapidly overtrain and get permanently fatigued, or get sick or both.

1500-1600
...but I've been riding the normal amount which is quite a bit. Regardless of what the "extra" calorie burn is, I stick to the 1500 target. Def been hitting the wall on the bike sometimes and super lethargic today but I've been telling myself I dont need to "perform" in January just drop as much weight as possible.
