Balancing gym with purpose

Well. The longer a cut the less energy youll have. Im currently on 1800 calories while my maintainance is around 2500 orso. And yess hunger is an issue, just drink lots of water and only go to the gym after you just ate your biggest meal of the day.

Im doing a 4day upper lower split and made slight strength gains while on my cut, im only 8 months into lifting so take that for what it is.

5’10 165 is pretty light if you ask me, I’m not sure why you’re doing a deficit. Gain some weight homie. I’d aim for 5’10 190. You’ll have more energy levels, and you’ll have a more authoritative presence.

Could be that your calorie deficit is too big

Or just eat at maintenance and lose your kcal through cardio?

4 or 5 day split could also be fine. What's your program look like? How many sets and exercises do you do?

You’re 165lb at 12% body fat and you’re eating in a DEFICIT?

Why...?

Just eat as much as your body needs, man. No need to bulk for excess fat, but no need to sacrifice energy and potential muscle for fat when you’re already that lean.
