Title says it all, i want to lose weight and also build some muscle, ive have been hitting the gym and cutting my calories by 500-900cal for the past two months, while i am seeing some muscle growth, its not very substantial or something people around me will notice, ive also lost about 2kgs which is not much so i am thinking of doing a 200cal surplus for a month to see how it goes I wanted to get some advice as well as read other people’s experiences

First lost weight on deficit, then build muscles on proficit. Moreover, leaner you are, better muscle/fat ratio you will get on proficit.

LOL at proficit -- I will use that in the future instead of caloric surplus.
