What has your limitation been? What has stopped progressing and/or has regressed? What is your training volume like? What are your movement selections and order?
I cut from about 115 to 82 in like a plus minus a year and my progress was steady I was tracking lifts. Introduced Reta half way through the cut. Worked great but the leaner I got the weaker I got exponentially. Had prior experience but hadn’t logged lifts tracked macros prior which allowed me to progress through the cut until recently. Sas’s tips I absolutely agree with and have already implemented them into my training. Anymore comments are greatly appreciated

At that height you have longer arms than the average “bodybuilder”, so I’d maybe experiment with different grips.
Wider , elbows flared out (Marcus ruhl style)
Maybe try a higher rep range on some movements
My main point is, are you definitely engaging your pecs fully during your sets ? Are you giving it enough volume across the week?
Probably getting 10-12 sets per week generally doing a press movement fly movement and then alternate each week with additional movements. My form may affect muscle bias but I can’t see any major reason why this would happen. I do alternate gyms so might effect “neural adaptation”? Any more thought or tips would be greatly appreciated 🙏

Or prolonging my natural status?Appreciate the honesty more than you know it, I keep expecting to hear a different answer when truthfully it is the best way forward, is coaching something I should look into even tho im relatively aware of what I need to continue progressing. I am able to cover the fees of coaching entirely on my own but not sure if it’s worth an arm and leg at this stage in my life and training. Thank you so much for the feedback tho guys means alot 🤙
