My love handles are ruining my physique and confidence

I'm 5"10 95kg and aim to eat around 2500cal and 210g of protein a day Been working out for a little over a year now and have seen some improvements but am also aware that my eating hasnt been the best. l've always had a lot of lower back and lower belly fat and can never seem to get rid of it. Feel like it's ruining my physique and shape a lot, I thought I could balance it out by getting my upper back and shoulders bigger but it's all I can see is my love handles Is the quickest route to getting rid of it just eating cleaner and chucking in some cardio ? Any advice for a somewhat beginner is much appreciated
