26 y/o Skinny fat? Help me plz

[Jakethesnake95]

What’s up guys? I currently HATE how I look and I want to change. I don’t know what to do and would greatly appreciate all the info/help you guys are willing to give me to get me on the right track. How much should I be eating? What types of food should I be eating? Should I lift every other day and on off days go for a 30 min run or some other form of cardio etc etc…
Im about 5’11 1/2, and roughly 183-185lbs. I don’t know my body fat % but Im sure it’s much higher then I want/ what it should be for a 26 year old dude. I want to post pictures but unfortunately I have no freaking idea how to (if someone could tell me how, once again, I’d appreciate it haha)

Hey man, simple way to start, figure out your calorie/macro needs and eat in a slight deficit. These threads will help.

For workout, AllPro's Beginner routine is great.

Pictures would help us a lot in better advice, to post simple upload them to imgur and post the link here; since you have less than 50 posts you will need to break the link up (put spaces in it) and we can copy/past it.

hello, sorry for replying on someone else's thread but I have no idea how to post a thread here just joined. so, I can describe my body shape as inverted triangle, I'm always gaining fat on my cheeks and shoulder area,belly, back fat, and arms. How do I reduce weight in those areas also is their a diet you can recommend?

You can't choose where fat is lost from. You can only lose it from all over and build muscle throughout your body to improve your overall shape
