Lower the carbs, but keep the protein high (to prevent muscle atrophy) and do take your healthy fats. Don't deprive yourself of calories, eat super clean and strict.
Omega 3s, Poly and Mono saturated fats found in like olive oil, avocados, canola oil, flax seeds. You can take separate omega 3 fish oil capsules as well.
My bulking diet :
6 - 8 whole eggs in the morning
1 large potato and 250g chicken
1 large bowl of rice and 250 g chicken
1 sweet potato and 250g steak
1 large bowl of rice and 250 g chicken
6 whole eggs
For cutting I am planning to double my protein intake following my bulking diet but reducing carbs by 50 - 70%

You dont need to replace all of your meats with fish...I would keep the protein the same for right now and like everyone else said just cut from your current diet.
Meal one take it down to 5 eggs,3 pull all carbs except for pre and post workout and even measure them carbs, do not take in more than 120 carbs a day to start, use fats as your fuel source so it could look something like this
meal 1: 4 whole eggs + 4 whites
meal 2: 198 g chicken (7 oz plenty of protein) + 1 TBS olive oil
meal 3: 198 g chicken + 1 cup oats + 32 g peanutbutter (preworkout)
meal 4: 170 g steak + 198 g(7 oz) sweet potato
meal 5: 198 g of chicken + 18 almonds
meal 6: repeat meal one
this is plenty of food and should give you a great a start....on your non work out days and cardio days just take in one serving of carbs when you first get up or if doing cardio wait until after. the protein is plenty, and if your not doing cardio now start at about 30 min a day postworkout or first thing in the morning. then as your progress starts to slow add 10 minutes each time your body adjust up to 50 minutes but you should have dropped a good amount of weight by then if you are dead on in your diet....and dont get wrapped up in well i need to eat 1200000 g of protein becuase i am on a low carb diet doubling your protien would have been a bad idea 1g cab =4 cals 1g pro=4 cals...so you would have added more cals then taking away with your original plan...this will give you enough protein to preserve muscle(you always lose a little while cutting no matter what) and the fats to keep you energized...take my advice or not
good luck to you and keep us updated

Alright, I will take your advice but I substitute most of my meats with fish. Is that ok ? Protein should be just as good as meats and I get my Omega in there too.
Yes that is fine....your body cant tell if you get your protein from chicken or fish or meat..it doesnt recognize protein it breaks it down into amino acids before it is assimulated into your body. where most peope mess up is forgetting to think of the fats in the meat like if you have salmon you dont need additional fat source from it becuase if is loaded but if you have a lean source like canned tuna or talipia you should add some fats to it
