Advices and asking for an opinion.

First of all I'm sorry because I didn't post on the body fat percent thread, but I don't have enough posts to add links with pictures. I was wondering how much body fat I have? During the last 9 months I lost about 108 lbs. Now I'm 6'1 and 137lbs. I have a very strange body right now, I'm skinny, I can see my bones almost everywhere on my body, but I have some subcutaneous fat and a little bit of skin I guess. During the past 5-6 months I followed a good lose weight diet (1700 calories, 2lbs per pound of bodyweight and about a 500 deficit) but know it seems that I lost all my strength gained in the last months (especially on the compound exercises), I'm depressed I'm cold everytime and I don't know what to do anymore. Just tell me if I'm skinny fat or I just have a low muscle mass? Should I start a lean bulk? Currently I'm eating around 2050 calories, I'm trying a reverse diet because I don't want to bump all the calories up and gain the weight back. I'm pretty close to maintenance since I almost stop losing weigth, but I feel week and even If I incress my calories and carbs I'm hungry everytime. I have a clean diet with a lot of healthy foods, good sources of proteins, fats, complex carbs and fibers. I count the macros like a maniac (probably the main reason I ended up like this). I just want to pass this situation and build some lean mass. Any ideea of what should I do? Because I really need help..

Ain't fat lol, just loose skin. Good job on losing that much weight though, that's quite an achievement..

You're not skinny fat, just skinny, so don't worry about that. What you should focus on now is getting muscle mass.

Start lean bulking & train consistently, and the results will show with time.

Start eating more 2000 calories for someone that works out is not good if you want to gain mass.

Ok I will try a lean bulk. But how much calories should I eat in surplus? Like 200-250?

You are skinny.. start clean bulking.. you can't just put on muscles without some fat... For clean bulking eat: rice, chicken, oats and cottage cheese(before bed). You can buy supplements like protein. And remember muscles grow slowly, very slowly..
