Stats:
Age: 20
Height: 5'8

Now I'm looking to cut body fat, basically get a flat stomach.
I intake 1400 - 1600 calories daily, and I plan on running 5 - 7 times a week(jog 2 miles 3-4 times weekly and do sprints 2-3 times per week).

Following this formula, am I on the right track and when should I reach my goal?

That long breh , I;m guessing I'm at 19 - 22% body fat, and I would need to get to 10% body fat to see my desired results. Plus I heard my plan would have me losing a pound per week, so I was expecting July or at worst August.

Lift.

I'mma start doing pushups and dips, so why lift?

Lift and cardio. Cardio kills your gains, but I was like you when I stopped lifting. Gotta burn the calories man.

Not if you do HIIT.

High Intensity Interval Training...short bouts of high intensity work followed by a low intensity recovery. An example would be an all out sprint for 1 minute, followed by 1 minute of walking or jogging done for 10-20 minutes. You can use anything for HIIT...treadmill, elliptical, jump rope, even weights, you just have to make sure your high intensity interval is 100% effort since the workout is short in duration.

You need to lift to build muscle mass, or else all that cardio you're doing is going to eat up the little muscle you do have. While the numbers on the scale may decrease, you won't really see it reflected in your appearance. MMSex had a before and after picture where he lost 20 lbs but you could see no difference between the two pictures because he wasn't lifting. I am a cardio queen, and this is something I had to convince myself of recently. I started lifting (finally!) about a month ago, and the amount of change I've seen in my body in the past month is way more than the 3 months prior where I was massacre'ing the treadmill.

What is your starting body weight bruh

I would say you can drop the first 20lbs in 10 weeks... then you will be in the low to mid teens and slow down to .5-1lb per week

People are all going on about retaining muscle mass... honestly from a beginner's POV it mite not even matter. Everyone including beginners has muscle memory. And breh doesnt have much muscle to lose to begin with. I would go heavy on the cardio & calorie cutting and just do a basic body weight routine as a gauge of your muscle retention & strength levels. Then once you get as lean as you want you can start to bulk clean.

Not enough lifting, not enough diet details...maybe too much cardio
