URGENTLY NEED HELP - from experts!

[Nate2021]

Currently I am sitting here hopeless and after going to gym for 7 months I am so close to falling off the wagon or just giving up. I am begging anyone reading this to take the time to answer and genuinely help me please? Please dont let me fall off the wagon.
I have tried research and I have not found what I was looking for.

Those who are experts in nutrition and bodybuilding and cutting please answer this. Only with facts and experience.

My name is Nate. I am 31 years old. I am a Male. My ethnicity is Indian. My height is 5'6 and 7 months ago I used to be 153 pounds (lbs) and now after 7 months of going to gym I am at 135 pounds.

There are 2 shapes a bulky strong man and a thin lean defined person.
Currently I want to be a lean well defined (6 pack showing low body fat%) guy.

Back story: I was chubby at 155 pounds, I was embarrassed to take my clothes off in locker room. Most of my fat were in stomach area. And I had a man boob thus I was never wearing small T shirts even though I love to wear it.

Therefore my goal started out as this. 1) Cut fat from stomach area and man boobs.

I went to gym for 7 months doing lots of cardio --> 15 min running to lose about 200 calories (according to treadmill machine)
Then I go and do body workout (whether its lower body workout or upper body workout) This workout program was made for me by a trainer who is free and comes with gym membership with planet fitness.


After 7 months I have reduced about 50% of man boobs, I have reduced about 70% stomach fat and now i am currently sitting at 135 pounds.

Many of my coworkers are telling me I look skinny, scrawny. When I look in the mirror I look skinny - I do not know if I like this look. I also have a somewhat of a 4 pack showing.
I know 6 pack or 4 pack depends on body fat %

My bicep circumference is around 13 inch. 7 months ago including fat on arm it was 13.5 inches.


Diet: I am eating 1500 calories per day. Most of them consist of protein around 40 to 50 grams. and very less fat and very less carbs.
Most of the time I feel hungry and tired.
Even with eating proteins I feel hungry.

Then I did research and I feel like my body is using muscles to break it down and use protein as energy.
I think I should start eating more fat and more carbs.

I also watched game changers on youtube and I also want to try lots of beans and lentils in my diet and not a lot of meat.

HOW SHOULD I PROCEED?

I want to look thin but lean but also well defined. Then my goal is bulk up by only 10 or 15 pounds....then do cut....then bulk up 10 or 15 pounds then cut...SLOWLY INCREASE MASS THAT WAY?

or do I do dirty bulk? or do i do clean bulk of 50 pounds then slowly cut down? or stick with only going up by 10 to 15 pounds then cut down?


I also want to know how should I eat now while I am cutting down to get rid of my last remaining stomach fat and flops...so my 6 pack will show. AGAIN....GETTING 6 PACK IS NOT MY GOAL.....but getting a good body fat percentage is my goal...so....IF I GET A 6 PACK THEN I KNOW I HAVE REACHED A GOOD BODY FAT %.....so getting a 6 pack is a INDIRECT goal...and indirectly lets me know i have achieved a good body fat %


How should I eat while I am cutting down to get? and how do i stop this catabolic reaction of muscles into proteins?

Do i continue with 1500 calories? if so, do I EAT A DIET THAT IS...high in carbs....medium in fat....high in protein....BUT LOW IN CALORIE?
is there food such as that? low calorie foods that are high in protein, high in carbs but low in fat?

please tell me how to eat!! please tell me what to do and when to bulk up....

im stressing myself over this and with covid and everything i am struggling and i want this gym to workout....

please anyone...put your heart in replying to this and im so sorry for the long email.

thank you
