If I started working out this week, would it be best to bulk or cut in preparation for the summer?

Without a photo of your physique from 3 angles, nobody can guide you.

Sounds like you're skinny fat. If that's the case, cut to 12% BF, bulk to gain muscle, cut again.

If you're skinny fat, you have 18-24 months ahead of you to get to your first goal. Not "this summer" lol.

It's fucking March almost, summer physique is gone already.

Bulk. Bulk for a year. Cutting is much much faster then bulking. Being big is always better then being skinny.

If you were strong at your current weight you'd be lean, so just get strong and maintain weight. Slow bulk once you're lean.

Cut for summer abs, bulk for winter sweaters. You have many cycles to go, just start. You'll never have the perfect body. What's important is putting in the work to chip away at your goal. Get to work. Fuck analysis paralysis.

if you have no muscle whatsoever... bulk. if you have man tits and a big gut you should probably cut... however if you cut when you don't have much muscle you won't look very impressive, just skinny. but skinny is better than fat. it is easier to bulk (and preferred) starting from 10-12% bodyfat.
