Is my coach cutting me too hard?

Hi all

I have my first figure competition in 10.5 weeks time. I engaged a coach for a building phase and 16 week prep. I have never competed before so I have been very trusting of what she has prescribed.

I'm 5'4" and weigh 141lbs.

Coach currently has me on 1550cals a day with 1x cheat meal a week. I'm on 40/40/20 for protein/carbs/fats.

My workouts are a 4-day split for about 75mins with a HIIT cardio session for 15 minutes after every weights workout.

She also has me doing 3 x 40mins of steady state cardio a week on top.

I have no rest day per se, my "rest" day has 40 mins of steady state cardio in it.

I am tired, depleted, and my weight loss has stalled. I have not dropped a lb in 3 weeks. I have muscle pain everywhere. It may be that this is entirely normal.

Looking at other members of this community, my cardio seems too high and my calories too low for this early in my prep.

Any advice would be welcome. I don't know my bf % but have uploaded a recent photo onto bodyspace.
