Physique fix

Here is George Leeman discussing bulking and cutting. The whole video is worth a watch, though admittedly it's long. For the beginning of his talk on bulking and cutting go to ~8:54. Leeman is an absolute beast, around your height (he's something like 6'3"). He's bulked up again to maximize his leverages in powerlifting, but there are pics out there (and in the linked video) of him leaning out. A bit in the linked video, and elsewhere, he's pretty transparent about the byproducts of leanness outside of the gym.

Also, per /u/Xemnas81 says below:

You cannot bulk without adding some fat, calorific surplus dude. However the cleaner the bulk the more you mitigate your aesthetic losses.

This is correct. Choose your goals. Cut down to hungry skelington mode, then bulk at maybe ~200 cal/day surplus, adjusting by benchmarks (mirror checks, strength gains/losses, scale weight, female comments, etc.). Or you could pull a Leeman and make a pact with Gains Satan and trade your youth for unholy lifting ability a few years in the future.

Nothing wrong with fat face... who cares. Rock that shit.

Make sure you're eating enough calories. If you're at 16 you're about maximum fatness that's still attractive. Unfortunately you have to cut/recomp. When at 10-12 bulk again.

Dude you're 205lbs at 16%, why are you bulking? You're approaching bear mode, you don't want to go strong fat when young, plates prefer otter mode. Start cutting and get yourself to 180lb 10-12%.

Don't know how to get rid of my chubby cheeks

by cutting

I want to bulk but I fear adding face fat

You cannot bulk without adding some fat, calorific surplus dude. However the cleaner the bulk the more you mitigate your aesthetic losses.

Need anything else?
