I'm sure you're doing fine. If your weight's down, how aren't you burning fat? Concerns about burning too much muscle IMO are extremely overblown for most people. I would recommend the eye test (look in the mirror) or feel test (poke at your flabs). Progress pics might help. I think there's calipers and other measurement tools too.
Keep in mind your fat deposits will get smaller, but they don't go away. You'll likely still have some flab, even if you're pretty lean. The process is also very gradual. I'm 6'2" male and had a gut/tits @185lb, and even in high school @155lb. In either case, it was still quite noticeable, unfortunately.
If you haven't put on enough muscle already, that could seriously effect your results. There's still benefits to maintaining strength / muscle even during weight loss, but progress will be slow. Generally, you just want to get a balance of nutrients, and be at caloric deficit. You'll lose fat, that's it.
