Yup. Alternatively you could increase calorie intake for a month or two and try reducing it again after that. You still need to have a deficit but it is easier to get one when you break it up a bit.
Yep.
Hence why I suggested a diet break if he's been in a deficit a long time.
Good chance he's metabolically adapted to current calories thus no longer actually in a deficit.
