I have a pretty big waist and even during summer when I cut and bf was down a couple of percent my waist was still kinda big, is this down to genetics or just I still had some fat to shed? I mean I'd like to think I'd be able to get a nice small waist
waist size?
Does it feel like fat?

waist size can be enflamed by fat gains, but yes, much is left to genetics.
Though thats not to say you can make a difference.
When i was 150ish @ 11-12% bf my waist size was like 29''
now im 176 15-16% bf and my waist size is 34''

Yeah I think I'm like 180 I'm not sure every scales is showing different and im prob about 14-15% bf and I'm like 35 inch waist or something, feels bad man. Also dunno if hips have anything to do with it but my hips are like 41 inches, I think thats kinda big unfortunetly.
fat
Genetics. Your pictures seem to show a lower body fat %.
it can be either or both, if you gain alot of fat it can go to your waist. But also a large waist can be due to your genetics, look at jay cutler for example he has quite a wide waist and he certainly aint fat.

This is the most recent pic, quality is terrible thanks to ****ty iPhone. Keep in mind this is with a pump in arms and I'm probably flattening stomach a little.
