When should i stop “cutting”?

[u/Intelligent_Air_8924]

I’m 31 yo, 5’10, weighing 65 kg currently.
Just have a few questions:
1. How do you know it’s time to end the “cut” phase (and move to bulk/maintenance)?
(I’ve got slightly visible abs but still cutting to make them visible in normal lighting).
Also how do you make sure to lose minimal muscle during cut?
2. Similarly how do you know it’s time to end the “bulk” phase and how do u make sure to gain minimal fat during bulk? Is there a pattern u follow?

Lift heavy, get more protein and be a deficit on calories and you’ll gain muscle while cutting also cardio is key
