Is it time for me to start cutting (lean bulking, pics)

[GMan2495]

I am male, 5'6" (167.64cm) and 137lbs (62.14kg).

I have been focusing on lean bulking, 2 pounds a month. I started at 124lbs at the end of September (see first attachment. Left picture is 124lbs, September 29th and right is 137lbs, April 16th):


I originally started with the Reddit PPL program from September till the end of January then switched to Viking's Bare Bones.

I was thinking of continuing my lean bulk but looking at my midsection, I'm not too sure. My ultimate goal was to fix my large midsection (I know spot fat reduction is a myth) but since cutting at 124lbs would have been unhealthy, I decided to bulk a little. I'm approaching 140lbs and just wanted to know whether to continue bulking.

Images are attached below and were all taken with no pump. I'm also available to answer any questions.

keep bulking, you can easily go for like 3-4 more months if not more
