Cut progress

Just hit my goal weight, down from 13st 4lbs / 86kg (2nd image) to 12st 7lbs / 80.5kg.
Took around 2 months of calorie deficit and cardio (interrupted for a good 3 weeks by a broken rib from boxing), I aimed for roughly just under 1kg a week loss, the first few kg shed easy then the rest was a push.

What to do now, maintain or lean bulk?

Should i bulk or cut ?

I'm not really sure whether I should bulk or cut at this point, so I'd appreciate some advice.

I'm not particularly big yet, and I'm trying to build more muscle, but I've always had some fat around my sides (love handles ?), even when I'm not overweight.

That's the main thing I'm unsure about, because I'm wondering if I should cut to get rid of it or keep bulking for now.

I've attached a front picture. It's not that noticeable without tight underwear, but you can see it a bit.

With underwear on, it tends to spill over the sides, and you can also see some fat around my lower back from behind, which creates a kind of dip or gap in the middle where the waistband sits.

Other/META Is a lean bulk worth it at this point?

5’6 155-160lbs. I’ve been lifting seriously for nearly 7 years now. I’d say 4 of those years my diet and training was pretty on point. These past two years I’ve been really busy with work so I’ve just eaten at maintenance and sat around 165lbs. Accidentally lost some weight over the past 3 months and was 155 on the scale this morning. Looking to fill out some of my shirts better, feel a lot smaller in clothing. I really want to get up to around 175 over the next year with a lean bulk (250 surplus) but I just don’t know how much more muscle I can pack on my frame at this point. Wondering if I’d just end up gaining a bunch of body fat with little muscle to show for it. What are your guys’ opinions? Be happy with where I’m at or give the lean bulk a shot? For reference my current lifts are a 280lb bench, 495 deadlift, and 380 squat. BF usually hovers around 13-15%.

No idea what to do next? Been on a cut for 8 months. I am not tall, 5 ft 6, weigh 130 lbs now but really struggling to put on any meaningful muscle and my strength has been declining.

Just started trying to eat 150g protein per day and doing resistance training 3 times per week with a hiit workout twice per week. Must admit i feel great after upping my daily calorie intake but im unsure what else i can be doing.

Posted in here last month and decided to keep cutting.
Pretty happy where I’m sitting, fat seems to be coming from the right areas.
Really want to add size and muscle this winter but now kind of addicted to being lean, new to me.

First picture is from May 10th (203 lbs), second is from July 4th (191 lbs) and the third is from now (203 lbs). Considering pushing up to 210 then dropping back down to around 195. Just trying to figure out the best route. End goal is to be around 215 at 15% body fat.

24yo, 5'10, 79kg (174 lbs) Very inconsistently cutting over the last few months, it has gotten difficult to maintain due to a physical job, trying to stay around 2000 calories. Should I persevere or go for recomp. My goal is really to just lean out a bit and feel more confident topless. Thankyou
