So, here's the story.

I'm male. Classic endomorph (sluggish metabolism, wide bone structure, not much muscle tissue naturally). 5'5". 150 pounds. 25% BF. I'm trying to get abs.

I'm eating about 2400 calories a day. My diet is very clean... baked chicken breasts, oatmeal, whey, flax oil, etc. I do two hours of steady-state cardio a day (I can't do anything high intensity because of a heart problem, so no HIIT).

I'm not really losing much anymore... definitely not more than 1 pound per week.

HERE'S WHERE YOU COME IN: How much do you think I should cut my calories by?

Pic related - it's me.

You doing weight lifting? Adding muscle burns a lot of calories/fat to make and to maintain them. Don't think the calories are the problem since your diet isn't that bad

Two options,

Either you go down to 1500cal, at least no higher than 2000 (and that's if you don't care how long it may take ya).

OR you replace those carbs with protein (as much as possible), fix those breasts and abs (use heavy weights, few reps) and then aim for definition once you've reached an acceptable level.

I do a twice-a-week split, split into chest/triceps/biceps/anterior delt and back/medial and posterior delt/forearms. It works the best for me.

I'm only eating around 300-400 calories worth of carbs a day, mostly from oatmeal. 1500 seems pretty low, even for a smaller guy like me.

Keep suggestions for calorie numbers coming guys

holy shit 2 hour cardio EVERY DAY? Thats way too much. I would suggest diminishing the time to about 40 minutes, 3-4 times a week but that would mean you would have to up the intensity which could be a problem because of your heart. Also learn to squat and deadlift. You won't see great results until you add them to your routine.

Squats and deadlift are high intensity
