Bulk cut or recomp?

[sofieviv]

Hello everyone in the community,

I am 1.57 tall and I weigh 49 kilos. I started lifting weights-squats,dls,bench press- about 1 and half year ago. Unfortunately, an ilness made me abandon my workouts and i had to stay off for 6 months. Due to the illness I had only a limited calorie intake, mayby less than 1000. So inactivation and starvation -lol- made me lose all my hard earned muscle mass .
Now I am back to weightlifting, slowly raising my reps and my loads. My body starts to have definition again except my glutes and my hams which are overloaded with cellulite. I -SUPPOSE- since no extra carbs or fat were added to my diet during the illness, i was really undernurtured, it was the loss of muscle mass that made cellulite so promiment.
So now im stuck to a point where I start to wonder if i should bulk in order to add muscle to the area or cut in order to reduce the cellulite.
Btw, I'm clean eating. Only lean protein, egg whites and good carbs atm.

Thanks a lot!!

You should bulk because your weight is really low. It'd be unhealthy to go much lower.

Adding more muscle mass to your glutes and hamstrings might help make them look better.

Ditto. Do a lean bulk and focus on getting stronger
