I know this isn’t a fitness forum but I swallowed the pill around two months ago so am still getting my head around things.

I’m 18, 6ft 4inches. Got 17% body fat. I currently weigh 84kg. I want to put on some more muscle but not loads. I’m not sure if I should get down to 12/13% body fat before I start bulking.

I currently workout 3 times a week using two 24kg dumbbells for an all body workout. I started doing this in March when I weighed around 78-80kg so have put on a decent amount of muscle for what I’m aiming for.

I recently found out about doing 5x5s in order to bulk and was planning on doing this starting next week. However, I’ve been asking around and everyone thinks I’m at a decent size and should just focus on cutting. They’ve been saying I’m lean and should stay this way.

One way or another I plan on putting a bit more muscle on at some point in the near future. I still feel like I’m too skinny. I’m just not sure which order to go about things here. So essentially, should I bulk or cut first?

Thanks in advance.
