5'5 and went from 129 lbs to 149 lbs within the last seven months. Keep bulking?

Should I bulk or cut in my situation? I started lifting in April (seven months ago) and I have went from 129 lbs to 149 lbs. My max squat and bench are roughly 190 and 100 lbs respectively. I ran Stronglifts 5x5 in the first several months but I did not get very far in linear progression regardless of my caloric intake, form, or sleep (I essentially stalled every single time I added weight to the bar). I have recently switched over to 531 for beginners as recommended by some powerlifters after hearing of my situation. I do acknowledge my strength gains are subpar, though I honestly started out as someone who couldn't bench an empty bar for more than 2 reps (I am dead serious about this).

I feel hesitant to do a cut since most of my muscular development went to my legs and arms. I am not too concerned about aesthetics but I worry about health and my body fat% interfering with strength gains (https://www.strongerbyscience.com/be...ding-you-back/)

start cutting ASAP

Is this for aesthetics or health reasons? I don't care much about how I look though I am worried about my health. I am pretty health-conscious because a decent portion of my family is either overweight or suffering from some sort of physical health issue. No idea what my Body fat percent is though to my knowledge it can be a hindrance to strength after a certain point.

Bump. I would like other opinions here. If I cut, I have no muscle. If I continue to bulk, I am not sure whether my body fat % will become a health concern/ detrimental to strength gains.

both.
your body is storing fat in a feminine way (no offense brah), which probably means you have too high estrogen levels. reduce bodyfatpercentage and estrogen might go down with it as well.
