π 16.Ba3!
Good decision.White bishop probably has no better place and white rooks want to be placed on the c-file, so this move serves both goals.
16.Nd2 Bxg2 17.Kxg2 Nfd5 Black is fine.
16.h3 Be4! In the Queen's Indian Defense, black is going aim his light-squared bishop and knight at e4 in order to restrain the moves e4 and to prevent d4 to d5.

π 13.Bc6!
The best way to give up the pawn both in terms of exacting further tempi from black as he rounds it up, and of liquidating the b7 bishop just before it acquires a new lease of life. 13...Bxc6 14.dxc6 Qc8 15.b4! Qxc6 16.b5+/-.
