Hello everyone! I have been cutting for a while now and have dropped 70 pounds. I started off doing only cardio but after doing some reading and changing my goals I have been weight training for about a month. I'm currently 5'10 and 170 lbs. Should I keep cutting the rest of the stomach fat or start a bulk? What would you say my BF % is?

You look like 14-13, how about droping another 5 pounds then start a clean bulk ?
Edit : did't see your side pic, you look more likely 15

17% or so
Not that you have a ton of fat on you - just not a lot of muscle.

Thanks everyone! I didn't do my research before starting my weight loss journey and was eating very low calories with no weight training. Any small amount of muscle I had was definitely burned. I've completely reworked my diet, started weight training 3x a week, cardio 3x a week and one day of complete rest. My end is goal is definitely to add as much muscle as possible and keep a lean physique. I feel that I am commited and definitely will be going through as many cutting/bulking phases needed to get where I want to be. Just wasn't sure where to go from here. I appreciate the advice.

If you hadn't ever really done any weight training, you likely didn't lose any muscle ... you didn't have anything but average untrained muscle to begin with.

0 pounds. Bulk now.Originally Posted by nuckbuc
More cutting will not make you look much different, imo. Get some muscles, then cut.
Great work on losing 70 lbs, incredible achievement!
Good luck,

I would actually suggest cutting a bit further until you hit a REAL 15% or so (when that little belly fat flattens), then bulk hard and steady.Originally Posted by nuckbuc
