i cant remember the method i used to calculate my maintenance but i figured it close to 3,000 calories, so i shaved roughly 500 calories off. should i cut some more calories to reduce the cardio?

also, does the style of weight training matter here? ive heard that if you want to do a lot of cardio then you should lift heavy rather than volume training with little rest. when i think about it the volume training with little rest is pretty much cardio weight training, so im just extending that by doing more cardio afterwards right?
