Doug I think you keep missing some big pieces to the puzzle.

If you are eating at maintenace, then you aren't in a deficit. If you aren't in a deficit you can do all the HIIT and lifts you want but the fat isn't going to come off.

Stick to good protein intake, lift heavy, and if you want to lose fat cut the calories, if not then don't. That is the secret, seriously.
