I have a doubt that since all faces are cut that means all sides of a cube will have the same number of small cubes which gives a total of 130 so can anyone explain this?

Simple method would be only see from front.

Remove corner's cube and see only middle cube
Total middle cubes = 9.
Total sides of cube = 6.
so, 9 * 6 = 54.
