Should i bulk up or lose fat first?

[switch-blade]

im 18 years old. 5-11", 160lbs. i have a about 14% body fat. i have most of my fat in my stomach and its pissing me off. i want to bulk up but i want to lose this stomach fat. which should i focus on first? some one recommended that i should get my BF% a little less then 10% then bulk up. is this good? iv been working out since feb.

if i need to bulk up how much calories should i take?

You should recomp (neither cut nor bulk) until you stop responding. When you believe you're not making ANY progress at all after even several weeks, then you should pick a goal and do it slowly.

Beginners shouldn't cut or bulk.

Are you still making progress?

It hasn't even been a year. Still technically a beginner.

I wouldn't even think about cutting ^^^

Recomp, train hard, rest well. Eat high protein. Lift heavy.
