Should I be trying to gain or lose weight? 18 year old, 5'11, 155lb, 16% body fat

Hit the gym man. You’re really light for being 5’11. Eat clean and hit the gym hard. You’ll burn the fat. Put on some pounds as muscle. It’ll be good

Dude eat. Eat a lot. Eat so much you hate eating. Eat clean and watch those muscles grow and watch the incoming wave of eye fucks and compliments you get. It’s magical.

You aren't working out hard enough.....

And you need to get your diet squared away to increase protein...no SUGAR.

If you are REALLY kicking it in the gym, your metabolism is going to start fucking flying and you will need good fuel to keep up.....

Also you are only 18 years old..you need to look into getting into some outside sports\activity in addition to just gym to help you be less a gym bro and more an athletic dude.

You forgot an important info: for how long have you been lifting?
It sounds you're a novice, so just eat at maintenance or 200kcals over it.

Old school rule of thumb is the ideal weight is about 200 pounds for someone six feet tall. You Narrow, brah
Gain weight - lean muscle mass - NOT fat.
You need more work, lift heavy, no sugar, more protien and fewer carbs sounds right from here
