So I weigh around 190 lbs. Working on losing some fat so I can see my abs before I start clean bulking again. Looking at my diet, I’m getting around 140-150 g of protein a day. Is this a problem, is it absolutely critical that I get 1 g of protein per pound of body weight?

I don't think it is, but you would probably have an easier time shedding fat. Meeting your caloric goal with a higher protein diet will become much more of a chore, rather than fats or carbs and keep you feeling satiated longer as well, considering you're protein sources come from actual food and not powders.
