what do you do to work out? how much cardio vs ho much resistance training? Try ice baths/cold showers if your cutting, your body will be forced to use its chemical energy(your fat) to generate thermal energy to maintain its internal temp in a cold environment.

Do you know how much energy we are actually talking about? I guess it's not as straightforward as the body will do stuff like constrict blood flow and letting extremeties cool out. Also I'm unsure whether it can let core temperature drop temporarily to save energy

a guy who did cold showers for a bit while he was cutting, said his rate of weight loss doubled, to 2 pounds a week during his cold shower period, so hopefully that helps you quantify that.
