Hello everybody. I'm wondering if it's feasible to maintain muscle and lose fat at 30. Just kinda eating every few hours but nothing major.
Keeping the protein high. I like the feel of 170lbs but like the fat level of when I'm 160. I'm wondering if I just keep lifting weights and eating protein veggies fat and some carbs I'll recomp like I did at 20.
Not really looking to bulk to 180+ and cut because I don't like that big belly.
Thank you

Yes.
Eat at a caloric deficit.
Don't lose more than 1% body weight a week.

It sounds like you don't understand what recomp is.

That explains my why my social life is how it is.
I'm saying I used to eat big meals every 3 hours but lately I've been just having a small serving of veggies with rice or potatoes and a large portion of protein a few times a day. I like being lean, but I don't like the scrawny feeling. So I figure around 170 lean would be good for me.
I've been heavier before. I don't like the belly that comes with it. My genetics, my arms have really low fat, any weight I gain goes to the belly, I could be 200 and have veiny jacked arms, but with a gut I don't enjoy.

Sounds like you didn't know how to recomp at 20 with all that mish-mash you just said.
This question was pretty hard to read. Many people haven't even physically peaked yet at 30.
Very much possible; I went a year off lifting and am back to 2020/21 strength levels in 5.5 months and gained only around 4-5 lb during the process.
