Should I bulk or cut?

Take a picture.

But honestly, it's preference. If you feel fat, cut.

My suspicion is that you are still pretty small if you're asking this and probably should bulk.

Cuuuut..........
I am 6'0, and 173 - ish right now and my abs are showing (11% body fat). At the top of my bulk I was 192lbs, and I felt like fat fuck. Yeah, I was a bit stronger, but I attracted mostly chubby chicks.

When I see pictures of me at 192lbs, I cringe. No wonder fat chicks were all over me.

After an almost 20lbs of weight loss (it took about 6-7 months), I feel much much better. Playing sports is better, skinny girls check me out all the time, and the chubby ones have given up.

I am planing to do another small slow bulk, and go from 173lbs to 180lbs, and no more.

TLDR: You are about 15lbs fatter than you should be. Time to cut during the summer.

Definitely cut because I'm assuming BF is well on the plus side of 15%. As long as you understand you still lift during a cut. And at your age it's not like there will be no gains at all while cutting.

Post a pic dude. We can't guess what u look like

You're not fat, you're just unsthletic. You have ZERO muscle shape. You need to train harder, not worry about abs. Your arms, delts, chest, traps, core look weak af. You're not training hard enough at all. There is no curve in your muscles, you look flat and just untrained. I'd say bulk, since you're under 200l s 1st 6ft and you look like this. Focus on actually lifting and giving your body a shape first, then u can think about cutting fat

Clean bulk until you're 205-210 then cut down to 200. End goal should be 195-200 6-8% bf

Water up, cut down. Having narrow shoulders sucks, but your arm gains will be godly.
