Yeah maybe a tad less so 17-18% would be correct I would say.
[QUOTE=JSantos1985;1579316991]Hi all,
I've been cutting for roughly 6 months and managed to go from 202.8lb down to 130lb. I didn't have much muscle mass to begin with so I went overboard with a daily 1000kcal deficit while managing my macros. I'm considering switching to bulking at this point, but would like an estimate of my body fat %, the gym scale states I'm at 7% but I very much doubt it. It's difficult to gauge visually since I still have some amount of loose skin. I believe I can theoretically continue cutting, but I'm definitely starting to feel the effects of being underweight, I feel weak and lethargic most of the time and feel faint when I get up too fast.

I have you around 10%. You should bulk not cut anymore.

15-16% would be my guess as well. Nope you are fine to lean bulk if you wish just aim to add about 1.5-2lbs a month with a 200 calorie surplus of maintenance TDEE.

Untrained and fairly lean usually means a bf% of 15, in your case maybe 0.5-1% lower. A surplus close to maintenance, aka leanbulk seems adequate.

About 13-14%BF with decent mass and slightly uneven fat distribution. Might need further core developement before fully reaping the benefits of cutting for abs. I'd still recommend gaining more mass, by a small surplus unless you are eager to lean down for the summer.

I see, thanks for the input. I was guessing 13 - 14%. Would it not be more beneficial that I commit to a 500 cal surplus bulk to reap my noob gains for a couple of months? I figured lean bulking would be a bit slow for a complete beginner.

Thanks for the response. I was thinking I was closer to 18-20%! So I’m surprised. I think I’m going to start a lean bulk as I’m not worried about leaning down for summer. Thanks for the advice.

Nah I think about 300kcal will be enough (eating more only piles on fat at a faster rate), but IRL you could settle for a weight gain of 1-2lbs/month. You might want to look at weekly averages of daily weigh-in values to make sure you're on the right course as waterweight can shift on a day-to-day basis.

I'm trying to get an estimate of my body fat to measure out macros and estimate fat loss. I've used an USN Body Fat cal and I got with it 17%... which I'm doubting after seeing photos of others at 17%. What do you guys think?

[QUOTE=Ankur248;1579480931]So, how do I get rid of the loose skin?[/QUOTE]
What you can do is fill it out with muscle when going for a bulk. You also have the benefit of still being young, so some/most of it will likely draw back.

Well a bit higher than that, but not by much... maybe 19%BF.

I am 5' 9.5" and weigh 160 pounds. I have cut down from 173 pounds. Planning to continue cut for a bit and then do a long clean bulk. I have not seen my lifts decrease at all while cutting but energy got low and then I took a week off and now got back into it. What do you think my current body fat percentage is? One photo is me flexing the other just standing there. The gut is annoying it's what I want gone the most and has gone down a good bit since I started cutting. Photos in attachments.
Thank you for all advice!

Your genetic/hormonal distribution pattern seems to make you store more fat in the abdomen area, less around the hips/butt compared to the average. Overall about 25%BF.

If that was by the march pic from your bodyspace, I'll have to be honest and tell you that you were closer to 27%BF back then... don't blame whoever estimated you, as it's really hard to determine hidden mass (i could be wrong aswell today, but time will tell).
You have done a great job in losing 10-15lbs and whatever you are doing in terms of lifting/diet obviously works. So keep it up, do more of the same if you stall, and stay patient!

Heya guys,
just under 2 months into my weight loss journey and a little disheartening to be honest.
My starting weight was 249 pounds and my current weight now is 214 pounds. I’m 185cm and I’m actually pretty fit. Before I had the physique of say a wrestler and I just wanted to cut fat. I’ve been doing Keto, I intermittent fasting everyday, a 24 hour fast every week and 48 hour fast every second week. I only eat one meal a day and haven’t touched a carb or sugar macro in 2 months.
It seems I may have not lost any fat at all. How is that possible? Anyway would like to get your thoughts of my body fat percentage as a starting point from here. Any tips welcome

Really? I was thinking I was closer to 16% even at 160 pound 5 9.5 it seems the only major fat is lower abdomen I have very little fat in arms or rest of body.
5 9 167.8 20
Next four pics in body space (2 front/ 2 back)
Bench 225 3x6
Squat 325 3x5
Military 175 3x8
Current plan is too hit some strength goals at 175lbs
Want to hit:
Bench 315
Squat 405 (might be close)
Military 225 (might be close)
This would probably involve bulking to 185–190 and then cutting.

I basically look at fat and put it in relation to LBM/Muscle. I also look for vascularity/definition in certain areas depending on bf% range... Ex for 15%: arm vascularity should be seen to an extent, abs should have a blurry outline of some kind... and so on, then I average the areas.

True regarding the amounts of fat. But you don't have enough LBM/Muscle to get that %-value.
Work on progressive overload within your lifting program.

From ~18%BF to ~14%BF.
A mock prep is a good way of getting a feel for how long it will take you to get to your desired level... also to get the feel of how different life becomes in the single digits. I'd personally keep the pace down to 12%, adapt properly down to 10%, then pace yourself to not hit the wall as you drop below.
