Teens trying to cut/lose weight- why you shouldn't (Story Time)

[gbullock32]

Hey man , can you check my recent pic I uploaded. I have been here for a while and ate at maintenance and sometimes surplus or deficit in the last 2 years of my training. How much weight do you think I still have to lose before I get my 6 pack.. I am aiming for about 10-12% .
Weight is about 69-70 kg or 153-155 lbs , waist is 30 inches or 76 cm.
Best lifts : 200 LBS/90 KG x 6 bench (2 weeks ago PR!),squat 80 kg/175 lbs x 5-6.. trap bar deadlift 120 kg/265 lbs x 5..
Just started training legs seriously again like 5 weeks ago.

Stomach fat is pretty much the most common place to store it; really, just being more active would be enough more than likely, go for a walk or jog every day or 2, play some sports, swim, ect. You are not heavy enough to really need to lose any weight, and doing so would not be of benefit to you. As you grow you will naturally lean out a bit too due to height increase and just filling out naturally.

Would a jump rope HIIT workout help? I was thinking I should go with that because it fits right in my schedule.

Any form of activity you like can be used, HIIT is good cardio which has benefits to heart health.

Depends on current weight, height, age, and how much of a deficit they enter; pictures would help with better advice.

Been eating healthy 2100-2500 calories a day (I'm 16, 153 pounds) I workout 6 days a week and gain muscle while also losing fat a little at a time it's the perfect balance

Unless you are very short 153 is not very heavy and likely not the best to be losing weight. Again, pictures would be best for providing more thorough advice.

Really no need, at 6' there is no reason at all you should be focusing on losing any weight at all and you are eating fat less than you should be. You problem is not the amount of fat you have, but the lack of muscle mass.

Looking at the pictures in your gallery you need to be focusing on progressive overload and eating enough to grow.

Body fat calipers are only so accurate and not always the best determination method; pictures are more helpful.

Given your height/weight, it is unlikely 2500 is nearly enough to be growing to your full potential; as long as you are gaining strength and weight though than that is a positive thing.

Yeah I just used a Tdee calculator I should be eating 300 more. Back when I first started I was eating 1800 maybe a day. Pretty sure I stunted my growth pretty badly

Not likely, it takes genuine starvation to impact growth. If you had been anorexic it might effect growth.
