I'd post in fitness. Typically cut for summer (show off the gains) and bulk for winter.

Look at clean cut and clean bulk. Also step the caloriie deficit/increase, don't do your total change all at once.

Plus since you are fat, do the change over time, depending on your skin elasticity. You don't want loose skin hanging over your abs. Sometimes only surgery can remove that.

It's always fat fucks who ask these questions. At 25% of bf you eat a 500kcal deficit and lift your ass off.

Big, Muscular and Shredded

Keep lifting and eat your maintenance calories. You'll enter body recomp and your bodyfat will slowly decrease while muscle mass increases.

There is no one definitive attractive physique. Go for the build YOU want. I've always preferred the bear look. You can find videos on it by Jeff Nippard

Do a recomp bulk lose fat gain mass. It’s only possible for new lifters if that’s you you’ll end up weighing the same but at 12-15% body fat with more muscle. At that point cut down to sub 10% and get shredded. Maintain that lean level of body fat for 3 weeks. Start a lean bulk gain 20lbs over 10 months then another cut. That is the roadmap from skinny fat to jacked and shredded 2 years is a good timeframe

Anything above 20% is a fat ass. That should be your priority to fix that then bulk before you get too fat, cut down, repeat.

Mate, jump on "dat dere celltech" and you'll find the women checking you out constantly.

Oh the answer you are looking for is "large muscles with low bodyfat"

Do strongman workouts, don’t eat like a fat fuck. No over eating, no excessive bullshit in your diet. Do high intensity workouts and you’ll get ripped and bulk - but bare in mind, it takes YEARS. Not months

It depends on the person.

I used to be 165-170, cut (5'11"). Small waist, nothing but muscle, could see a slight six pack. In PE, I could do more pushups or pullups than anyone else in the class.

I would look kind of thin in shirts though.

Girls would comment that I'm real thin all the time, it was annoying AF.

I even heard some girls comment that I was "too skinny" and shit like that.

Went on a bulk, just ate like a madman and drank tons of milk while lifting heavy.

It took about a month, maybe a month and a half or 2. I got up to about 185. More fat on the body, but now I look buffed in shirts.

Man, the IOIs started increasing two or three fold.

Now I stay between 180 and 185, a little bit of fat on the belly, as opposed to before, which I had none.

I look totally buffed in a tight shirt though.

My face also looks better, I look healthier.

I probably went up 2 points from the bulk with those 10-15 lbs.

I wish I would have done it sooner.

All I have to do to maintain is occasionally lift heavy and eat what I want.

Other people might have a different experience, it depends on the individual.
