This is the source of your problem. You say, "How do you do this?"
Then you say, "You could do that, but I know that is bad." Except you
are wrong.

When you stop making presumptions like that, you can learn something.

If you have a BMR of 1800 calories plus 500 calories of activity and
you undereat by 300 calories what do you lose if your fat mass is
already in the single digit and your muscle mass is average and less
would just mean you end up wasted and gaunt?
Also a lower by 300 calories BMR means a lot lower weight
If you're already normal weight lowering your intake of 300 calories
till your BRM is in balance with your intake means literally starving
your body
If a lean person reduced his intake by 300 calories when he is
exercising and training it means the body will have to burn something
else for fuel: fat is already at its lowest so it will be muscles, I
don't think that is desirable or aestethically pleasant

They're shorter on average too and so weight less and have to consume
less
How tall are you? (if you don't mind me asking)

Yes because if you calculate your caloric intake to maintain you
already BF on the single digit and average muscular lean body if you
consume less you will just become overweight you will waste muscles but
the weight needs to goes down a lot before the new due to the new
weight BMR suits the reduced caloric intake, there's all the time to
waste most of your muscle and become like a 40 days starving castaway

Yes, I would really appreciate it if you could figure out your actual
caloric intake and whether it suits your BRM and activity factor
