Am I taking the right action?

Make sure you don't tell people about what you're doing, what you're changing and what you hope to achieve. It's a common trap people fall into.

If you tell people about your improvements you will only face resentment and jealousy, people will try to tear you down.

Notice when you wake up one day and want to skip everything and just relax, that's called a crash and it's your body wanting to be as lazy as every slob who gives in. If you want to rise above them you need to catch yourself, make sure no matter how hard your body fights, push harder, you need to break it in like a wild horse.

I'm curious why you've chosen to bulk first, then cut - whats your current weight, height? Are you overweight, skinny, etc?

I think you're on the right track, regarding school although gaming can work at your age I think the whole 'dont shit where you eat' mentality still applies, just like you wouldn't game at your work place. You're operating at a steep incline because people already know and have formed an opinion of you.

Tinder, POF, and other online dating mediums are GREAT practice at text game, and generally interacting with women. Although your pulls might not be the greatest, they'll give you some solid ideas of what works and doesn't work when texting, and gaming women. You can transition some of those skills to real life - it has certainly helped my confidence, and if you're shy interacting with women it will help with that too. Keep in mind the biggest thing there is PHYSICAL attraction is #1. Harder to build that attraction from scratch online, if you're fugly most girls will write you off at your profile pics.

Other then that, once you're old enough start hitting bars, and talk to as many women as you can, fake it till you make it. There will be a lot of misses but if you keep up with your lifting, improve your wardrobe, and keep gaming you'll get more and more strikes along the way.

Lift* (Also diet, count your calories if you aren't already - Lots of apps for this, MyFitnessPal, Lifesum, etc.)
Make money*
Read*
Meditate - There is an app called Calm that can help you get started with some guided meditation until you feel comfortable (able) to block out the world and just be. Doesn't have to be much, but be consistent - 10-20 min each day.
Pursue a hobby (pick up a hobby) - Instruments, dancing, woodworking, a sport, anything really but make it productive to your future self, don't just spend hours gaming. I picked up an instrument and it has been very rewarding having a creative outlet and progressing through harder material each day.
Study hard(er).

*You are already working on these.

You're off to a great start.

What else should I be doing?

Make some goals for yourself my friend. What you want to accomplish in the next 5 - 10 years, you want to learn carpentry? Interested in MMA? How about learning the tango, etc. Find out what interests you and go for it.

Start an online website that sells something you make yourself. Doesn't need to be high volume, even if you can make 1 item a week and post photos on the site and a brand instagram site, you will slowly grow your reputation.

I know a young guy who started selling hand made wooden earrings online and now 4 years later he's actually selling them to boutiques for 10X the price. Every week, he'd make another pair of earrings, probably was making $1 an hour for his time, but now he's making some decent bank and has a brand.
