Will calorie deficit stunt my growth? i am 5'10 70-71 kg and want to reach 65kg. i want to start a calorie deficit of -150 calories per day because my body fat is high. (i will get enough calcium, protein, vitamins etc)?

No, it should not stunt your growth if you follow a balanced, nutritious diet with reduced total calories. By the way, I do not think you are overweight with the current BMI. You only need exercise for burning the fat.
