This is all way too complex, you shouldn't use --root or define all
those variables, %_topdir is enough.  Just do (for example):

Put in ~/.rpmmacros (only):

%_topdir /home/testlscsoft/rpm

Then use the following commands:

mkdir -p /home/testlscsoft/rpm/{BUILD,RPMS,SOURCES,SPECS,SRPMS}
rpm -ivh lscsoft-user-env-1.12-1.src.rpm
cd /home/testlscsoft/rpm/SPECS
rpm -ba lscsoft-user-env.spec
