Diet is important but if you want to optimize, picking the right gear is important, but not required.
When you’re dieting, you’re going to be in a calorie deficit no matter what. Therefore,
It’s gonna be difficult for your body to gain new muscle because of the energy deficit you’ll create with your diet. However, when we’re dieting we’re not so much concerned with building muscle as we are by NOT losing it. Yes, the body tends to retain muscle and lose fat while cutting if it’s provided adequate training stimulus. But it can still lose muscle — especially at the end of a long contest cut. Steroids can help a lot with this and it doesn’t really take much to achieve this muscle sparing effect — and perhaps eke out a bit of growth!
So what kinds of steroids are good in a cut? Generally, you want the least estrogenic steroids. Estrogen is great for adding muscle and putting on weight (in moderate amounts of course), but when it’s high it makes your body retain water and fat more readily, making it more difficult to lose fat. Conversely, when we’re bulking, we want moderate amounts of estrogen so we can make sure we’re eking all the tissue growth out of our calories that we can.
So, I here’s the short and easy list, in order of importance for cutting. This is not exhaustive: there are probably lots of drugs I didn’t list that work great.
Injectables:
Testosterone
Trenbolone
Masteron
EQuipoise
Primobolan
Orals:
Turinabol
Winstrol
Anavar
Peptides:
hGH
Ipamorelin
IGF-1 LR3
Please note: this is just, like, my opinion man. a lot of steroids that I didn’t list can work great in a cut depending on your goals and needs. For example, deca isn’t usually recommended for cutting because of its tendency to cause bloating and estrogenic side effects. However, if taken with winstrol, tends to blunt that effect while providing a moderate anabolic stimulus. Something like this won’t get you contest ready per se, but you can run the deca for months and still lose fat effectively on a low dose AND expect minimal muscle loss.
Also, it goes without saying that estrogen management is key when cutting. You want to be in the normal, sub 30ug/pl range when cutting, so make sure you’re doing blood work and dosing your AI/SERMS. You should always be running some testosterone as a base, so most people will have to do some estrogen management unless you are very estrogen resistant.
Additionally, peptides are great for long cuts (4-8 months) but awful for short cuts, as you won’t be on them long enough to benefit for the price.
Finally general notes of caution: not all these drugs are suitable for beginners. Use caution and know the ins and outs of what you’re taking before putting it in your body. Once it’s in your body, make sure your body is reacting to it as expected by doing regular blood work. Always keep extra anti-estrogens or serms on hand.
Good luck with your cut!

Low carb diet, cardio, weight lifting.
Only drugs I’d consider are T3 and clen, maybe some anavar to hold muscle.

If you mean best for cutting weight meaning dropping as much fat as possible and maintaining muscle, it’s var or primo. Both are really good at increasing nitrogen retention helping you maintain muscle.
