Gaining and trimming at the same time is extremely hard to calibrate. Just cycle between those two.

You’re diet sucks. That simple. Where is the protein at?

Intermittent fasting = good. Eating all you can without counting your macros = bad. Get that in order. Plus IF should be several meals in an eight hours period, not necessarily one meal a day. Train more, 3 times a week is a minimum, many people go 4 times, I personally go 5 times a week because I recover fast and I'm addicted. 2 times is not enough. How do you train? Do you use a program? Do you do compound lifts? Or gay ass weights? Do you increase weight / reps every week?

workout at least 4x, do heavy compound lifts

Right now you're bulking, meaning you'll look big and not necessarily toned. You'll look toned when you start cutting. Research on what these two terms really mean

My diet consists of almost entirely lean protiens and vegetables. That's what works best for most people.

I'm going to say what should be obvious. IF is a wonderful tool to help with calorie restriction. By itself, it isn't magic and the reason it works is that it's hard to eat your daily requirement of cals in one sitting.

Counting cals does suck. If it were easy, most folks would look good

Track calories, then take it a step farther and track macros

When you are just starting out don’t do intermittent fasting. Just count calories. If you need to lose weight eat 500 calories below your TDEE, if you want to gain lean muscle then eat 500 calories above your TDEE. FOCUS ON HEAVY COMPOUND LIFTS!!!

3x per week will get minimal gains. 4x-5x is what you should be doing. if you're not perpetually sore you are doing it wrong.
