I'd probably raise the protein levels (I usually keep mine 30%+) and maybe raise the food a bit. If you don't want to go to 2500, split the difference at 2250. It's hard to do - I bounced around a lot with calorie levels before I settle to where I am (2150-rest days, 2400-cardio/lifting days). Pick a level and stick with it for at least a couple of weeks (longer if you can) to see how your body reacts.
The only observation on the food is perhaps you could look towards better carb choices, ones that give you more fiber. I looked at my carb levels over the past 3 months or so and I average 234g with 40g fiber. So I'm guessing that some of your carbs are coming from either sugar, white breads/pasta, or fruit juices. Changing some of those might help dropping the cals if/when you need to.
