Cutting advice needed & bodyfat %

[R12KKV]

Hello fellow bodybuilders

Height - 177cm
Age - 24

Have been training with consistency for approximately 1 year 4 months so I'm still a beginner
7 month ago, Novemeber time I started a bulk and tracked my calories

calories - around 3000 on training days and 2700 on rest days
450 carb
80 fat
160 protein

Wanted to start a small cut to shed some fat from my frame so i can see my muscles definition clearer. I only want to shed the fat down so I can repeat the bulking process again, however this time I will try to ensure I go a little slower at bulking.

Bulked Weight - 176lb
Was gaining an average of 1lb weekly


Have been cutting since the past 2weeks on a strict diet of 2100 calories
270 carbs (carbs will be decreasing as weight loss plateaus)
58 fat
135 protein

Currently weighing in at 165lb
Training in the gym i am keeping the same intensity however I've noticed a slight decline in strength particularly on bench press


Just wanted an estimate judge on body fat percentage from pictures provided.
Im just worried that I will turn out really skinny while cutting whats your thoughts?
Any general cutting advice would be greatly appreciated

Thanks

Are those numbers right? That doesn't look like 5'1" 165 unless you're carrying a lot of weight in your lower body. Odd.

So 5'9". I guess if you don't feel uncomfortably fat (you don't look it), you might do better bulking. If you're cutting specifically to see muscle definition, I'm not sure you'll see good results.
