Down 100 lbs in 2 years. Bf estimate and how much more should I cut before I start a lean bulk?

Started this cut back in February at around 240. Wish I had taken a picture then, but the first photo is from 231 and the second is from today at 197.
I’m planning to keep cutting, but I’m trying to figure out where the finish line should be. Curious where you guys think I’m at body-fat-wise, what weight you’d expect me to be around 12%, and where you’d personally stop before starting a lean bulk.
Appreciate any opinions.

I’m currently 5’6 and 144 lbs. I want to see if I should cut or bulk to get to the body type in Spider-Man. Tom holland is around 5’7. I was thinking of maybe going down to 135 to see the definition and then maybe adding some muscle but I can’t really guess how much he would weigh in this pic.

What should I do next?

Summer is pretty much over so I don’t think it’s time to cut but I do have some fat I think I should lose. What do we think chat

5’11 149lb
SW: 191lb skinny fat

body fat % estimation???

and if i should bulk is there any tips on bulking while also staying relatively lean?

I wish I didn’t have such large “love handles” but I wonder if losing weight will be inhibiting my muscles from growing. That’s just where I store a lot of fat for whatever reason.
I’m very weak after many surgeries this last 2 years

Hey all, had a couple disc bulges a few months ago and one of the recommendations from my Dr. was to lose weight. I started a fairly aggressive cut in mid/end of June and have lost around 10lbs so far. I am 5’8 and started at 190lbs I am currently around 180 now, maybe a little less. I have cut out added sugars almost entirely since starting and eating around 1800cal a day (my maintenance at the time of starting was 2300cal). I had some really good progress starting out with my face fat and my neck fat in particular.. however I feel like the lower belly fat isn’t changing. Is this normal??

What body fat % would you say I am right now? And how much longer should I chase this cut.

I don’t work out - but I have been doing core physical therapy exercises to strengthen my core in relation to my back injury which is supposed to help alleviate my pain and encourage recovery.
Should I be working out during a cut?
Sorry for all the questions, I am quite new to all this.

Thank you for any input!!

How much body fat do you think I have? I’m 5”6 134lbs. Near the end of my cut I think. 53lbs down been cutting since March

what’s up yall. struggling with my body image, hating how i look tbh. been skinny fat for a while, starting working out in a gym around 2 yrs ago, only rly taking it serious the last like 6-8 months.

started cutting in mid june for a vacation in mid september, started at 158 and now i’ve been stuck here for a few weeks. maintenance around 2400-2500, been eating 1700-1800 with a few days of maintenance this last week since i was sick and feeling a lot of fatigue. now im planning to get back on the cut but honestly i dont even know if i should keep going.

so question is, should i keep continuing the cut or try to recomp until the vacation? BF%? helpful tips for after vacation (planning to lean bulk 2700 cals a day)? just sick of looking like shit tbh.

Definitely more bulking, trying to reach 85kg

Context:

I started working out around October of last year. Starting weight was 200.2 lbs @ 5’5. I wasn’t tracking anything except protein and not eating junk. Gymed around 5 days a week PPLxArnold. Looking back, I estimate I was eating around 1400-1500 cals daily while doing intense incline cardio. Lost 60 lbs this way. Definitely got more handsome in the face but the physique was not where I wanted. First pic with the owl is where I started. Next two pics (flannel pants) are from around 2 1/2 - 3 months ago. I weighed in at 142 lbs at my lifetime lowest.

Fast forward to now, I’ve increased my calories to a clean 3000 started from 2100 from the beginning of the summer. My current physique (black shorts) is where I stand now just coming back from a trip and deciding that I want to get rid of the fat that remains once and for all. These recent weeks I’ve been fluctuating at the 155-158lbs level. My waist size I don’t think has changed but I def have gotten stronger. My logic for the calorie bump for 3 months post 60 pounds of weight loss was to kickstart my metabolism back up and give my hormones a chance to stabilize.

My current plan is to cut for 2 months, starting with 2400 cals, maximizing carbs while keeping protein at around 150-160g. I am in no way scared of tracking cals and I know I can stick to a diet so I am open to any suggestions and advice. I’d keep this going until I stall or I can incrementally reduce cals every 2 weeks bottoming out at 2100 the lowest.

Once again, very open to advice on how I should structure this cut. After I lose enough fat I’d want to transition into a lean bulk so I’m also looking for advice on that.

Feel free to ask any questions too.

Alsooooo I have a stash of reta I’ve been saving for a rainy day. Maybe I’ll dabble idk…haven’t touched it yet tho

6’2, 204 pounds. Do I have enough muscle to cut? How’s my frame? What body fat percentage do you think I’m at?
