Cut or lean bulk? Simple pics

[PeterBHoang]

Around 161 down from 188. Macros are 245 Protein, 65 fat, 200 carbs for about 2355 calories a day or 20% under maintenance.
Have been lifting for about 3 years semi-serious and about half of that is when I actually figured out the nutrition part and what not.
Anyways should I cut and then lean bulk, or start my lean bulk now? I am in college so I drink 2/3 days out of the week. I was a lot more strict when i cut prior to spring break but now that I am back from spring break, I want to enjoy college so I am going to drink.
Also any recommended routines?

You can obviously tell the picture i am flexing in is the before and after. The 3 other pictures are relaxed.

Waist is 30.5

Let me know!

Most of us bodybuilders will tell you that if you only weigh 161 lbs at 5"10, you should bulk :P

Great progress though, keep it up!

*Edit - alcohol is highly catabolic, and will kill your gains, as well as flush all the nutrients out of your body. I am a recovered alcholic, who only starting by drinking like you do in college. I got stronger, but never grew or got those last few bodyfat% points off until I quit. Not preaching, but it is not easy to progress in bodybuilding, if you're drinking more than once or twice a month...

Your in college have fun. You look good now so bulk slowly and keep your cals in check and if you go out and have a good time stick to vodka and soda. You can get serious about it when your done with college and will have a great base to go off of imo.
