Something as simple as eating exclusively low GI carbs throughout the day (except postworkout) and having a carb cuttoff a few hours before bed will keep a lot of "chub" off. That being said, if you don't eat, you don't grow. Period. If you're worried about gaining a little "chub", then don't concern yourself with gaining lean mass. It's a necessary evil. If you've ever seen bodybuilders in the off season you'll know how fat they get packing in the cals. Backing off in your diet, especially while taking in a mere 1800 cals, will have you gaining at a snail's pace.

It would better serve you to at least double your calories, and keep an eye on the scale and check your bodyfat. Decide what's an acceptable range of bodyfat to hit. Once you reach that point, due to your eating, your metabolism will be very high. So when you start restricting cals, dropping a meal or two, and work in a little extra cardio on your off days, the fat will come off fairly quickly. Remember, fat loss is fast, muscle gain is slow.
