Cutting/Bulking

Start lifting now.

Keto alone won't make you lose weight. You need to be in a caloric deficit which means you'll need to count your calories (at least roughly)

Start lifting. A weekly regimen of 3x lifting and 3x running will melt that fat. Take Sunday off and relax.

If you have no injuries, do some sprint, like 6 sprint of 10-30 sec with 2-4 min rest. It might sound very little but it is the equivalent of 120 min of running at 65%. Do it once or twice a week because it needs explosivness. (Warm up properly as you can get injuries easier since it is realy intense)

In a more general way seek intensity when doing cardio. You will loose the fat, work on your endurance as your explosivness and maintain a good muscular mass.

If you want to gain muscle and strenght you can also Lift as it is recommended in Power to the ppl. Lift heavy 5×5 with 5 min of rest at 90% of your 1RM (max weight for one rep) and then go down to 80% and do as much as possible series of 5 with good form (never to failure) and 30-90sec of rest. When you cant do it anymore just stop here. It is a relatively short routine but it has a good volume and intensity for the concerned muscles.

You can do as follow :

Squat monday (90%)

Bench press tuesday (90%)

Deadlift wednesday (90%)

Squat thursday (65%) it is to remind your NS the mouvement

Bench press friday (65%) idem as the squat.

Then each week you can add around 8lb. You can do it on a period of 6 weeks, do a week of deload (65% of you weifht). It is important at the beggining to start with 80% of your 5RM to prevent burning your NS.

I am not an expert but cut slowly as it prevent to much muscle loss (10 % deficit).

I did bulked but also slowly (like 4 lbs in two month which correspond to 10% surplus preventing to have to do a big cut even if the progress are slower) and loose weight due to the lockdown. (8lbs).

Youre 5'9 155, you dont need to lose any weight imo. Youre already on the smaller side, only way i would want to weight 135 pounds is if i were a bantamweight in the ufc. Just lift, fuck all that diet shit, youre a kid. Eat well but id be focusing on gains.

Lift, eat at maintence or slightly above and you’ll see results not as quick as bulk but I rather stay lean and put on mass then bulk and have to lose fat
