Skinny fat guy need motivation

[F0rtitude]

Sup all,

So, since the beginning of October, I have been cutting in hope to get some definition on my muscles. I am 5'11 and weight 157lbs. I don't think I should lose weight anymore because that'd have me have a sick look.

So, the problem is, I am skinny fat, so i've got wide hips, but narrow waist and kind of wide shoulders. I don't know how to overcome this...I know it is partially genetics, but I refuse to let genetics decide what I should look like...

What would you guys do if you were me ? Would you continue to cut down and maybe, one day, eliminate the fat in my hips area and eventually get some abs definition or would you begin to bulk, but knowing my hips won't change...I'm kinda lost and I feel like all the work I did was for nothing...I feel like I will never be able to overcome this genetics thing..Need some advice/motivation, please

Thank you all

this shouldn't even be a question. clean bulk for a couple of YEARS before doing anything else. i'm going on two years bulking and still not ready to cut yet. MAYBE come summer time i can cut but i'm not banking on it.

pics would help but i feel that from your description you need to fill out your skeletal structure with more muscle. and btw genetics will always determine how you look. that being said genetics are not as big of a hurdle as you might think.

stay motivated and if you have any questions don't be afraid to ask.
