I’ve been working out since last September, but I don’t think I have been seeing much gains. My BP went from 60 5x5 to 115 5x5, OHP 55 5x5 to 75 5x5, and squats 45 5x5 to 125 5x5. I’ve been on a calorie deficit for the last 4-5 months, as I want to lose fat. However, I have not seen any results and am considering switching to bulking? I want to do an intense program, such as coolcicada’s PPL program as I want to put on muscle mass. Any advice? I am honestly stuck at this point. Any help is appreciated. Also I’m 18 years old.
Pic: it won’t let me post a pic, but you can find a pic of me on the subreddit for bulk or cut, my Reddit username is also “bulkorcut888”.

There - I posted your link for you. I'd say cut based on that pic, 150 is light, but you're carrying a good bit of extra fat. Do Fierce 5 and cut while perfecting your lifts and gaining some newb strength.

RECOMP!!! You are new lifter, and your body is going to respond well to this kind of training.. Hell I respond well to this and I have been a gym rat for a long while.
My best advice... Track your calories... eat in about a 500ish calorie excess... and do 30-45 minutes of cardio a day or a few times a week and lift heavy. Keep the protein high and be patient.. In a few months time you will see a huge change if your calories and macros are correct.
You can spin your wheels for years if your not tracking diet and adjusting.
You need to build a metabolism... You need to turn your body into a machine..
Feed it clean wholesome foods and train your ass off... I'm talking 60-90 minutes a day, 5-7 days a week.
Also, don't over complicate your training.. Find some solid exercises, pick a rep range and stick with it for a few months and see how it feels... My favorite is 5X5 and 7X3... Although depending on the muscle group I will do a higher rep range because my body responds better.
If you have any questions, as I have gone from your body type to the type of body type I have now, feel free to reach out to me!

I don't go to the gym anymore so above stats are useless.
Only do weighted calastentics in the comfort of my own home!
