I can't look in the mirror naked right now. I look like a dad.

It's all in how fast and how long you bulk. Bulking correctly can be very very difficult.
It starts with being lean in the first place. If you start bulking with too much fat aleady, you're doomed from the start.
Ideally you only want to be gaining about 1/2 lb per week. Any faster than that and most will be bodyfat.
Next, you need to be training hard so you are actually gaining muscle.
And last, you bulk until you don't like what you see in the mirror. Then you start a cut and hopefully, if you do that right, keep some muscle and lose some fat.

I struggle with knowing how many carbs and when to eat throughout the day. I’m a 57 year old bodybuilder that looks good with a tight shirt but struggle with my stomach area. Any advise. All the research I do is all over the board regarding macros
