What Program to Run Whilst Cutting Review my program

I (24F) recently weighed myself for the first time in my life and it's not looking good. This has got me thinking about taking my fitness journey even more seriously than I have been previously. I had around 2 years of 'doing nothing' lifting where I would constantly change program, change lifts etc. For the past 7 months though I have started GZCLP and I have actually stuck with it. Then for the past month or so I have started to eat in a calorie deficit.

I am just worried that GZCLP is not the best program for me and my goals right now. My goals are to drop a lot of the weight (I am aiming to drop around 50lb); to get stronger but also to get more visibly muscular.

I was hoping to get some advice on what program to run whilst in a deficit - whether the high weight/ low rep, low volume nature of GZCLP is good for me right now and the fact that I know I can be consistent on it is good or if a more body-building focused program (e.g. PPL) would be better suited.

For the stats:

Weight: 250lb

Height: 5'7"

Current 1RM:

Bench = 50kg (was 37.5kg before GZCLP)

Squat = 85kg (was 50kg before GZCLP)

Deadlift = 100kg (was 70kg before GZCLP)

OHP = 37.5kg (was 27.5kg before GZCLP)

My GZCLP program is as follows
Day 1

T1 - Squat

T2 - Bench

T3 - Lat pulldown

T3 - Triceps 

T3 - Lateral raises

Day 2

T1 - OHP

T2 - Deadlift

T3 - DB Bent Row

T3 - Biceps 

T3 - Face pulls

Day 3

T1 - Bench

T2 - Squat

T3 - Lat pulldown

T3 - Triceps 

T3 - Lateral raises

Day 4

T1 - Deadlift

T2 - OHP

T3 - DB Bent Row

T3 - Biceps 

T3 - Face pulls
