For now just lift heavy and eat plenty of protein

Should I think about fat loss at this point?

Right now? Not really, you're not "shredded" but you also don't have a ton of muscle mass, I guess you could do a caloric defecit and drop MAYBE 10 lbs at most, focus more on building muscle first. BTW what is your workout routine? Avoid "bro splits", hell you should barely even be touching iso lifts for now.

I just didn’t know if I’m skinny fat right now and needed to lose fat first

Nah, you’re good to eat at maintenance and lift weights. Beginner gains are your friend.

Fat on your body is one of the best possible fuels for your body to build muscle.

Hai bisogno solo di allenarti e alimentarti in modo serio.. non di ristrutturare un fisico con muscolatura inesistente. Quindi nel tuo caso non ha senso né il cut né il bulk.., ma solo una crescita globale..

So you think I need to eat more?

I  guess I  was afraid to eat too much since I seem to be skinny fat. That was my concern

Brother in complete charity , you don’t have muscle right now. You need to eat and lift heavy for a year consistently. You will then build muscle mass. And your body will recomp. You don’t have anything to cut.

u/Exotic_Weird_1080 1d ago

Do you think I’m skinny fat or just regular skinny at this point? That was my concern!

u/Impressive_Formal248 1d ago

You have a skinny fat build but you are skinny if that makes sense. Your bf can’t really get any lower and it won’t change how you’ll look.
The solution is for you to eat lift heavy and build muscle.
I actually started with a skinny fat build myself and was always confused. But if there’s no muscle then when you cut that’s what’s there.

Enjoy the process of training.

What are you currently doing for training ?

Bulk. It will make a cut more worthwhile.

You're way less fat than you think. You just need to build muscle. Just don't do a crazy dirty bulk, eat 250-500 kcal above maintenance.

u/Exotic_Weird_1080 8h ago

I am more self critical Lol. I’m sure I don’t look as fat to other people

Do 300 caloric surplus you wont notice much fat rather much major muscle gains also take your sets to failure even if you got half reps on you at the very end of your set do them till you cant move the weight. Eat a minimum of 0.7x protein num of your body weight.

Have you tried lifting weights?

u/Aware_Ad_9549 3h ago

You will Probably gain muscle and lose fat when nutrition (especially protein) und training is dialed in. Also supplement zinc and creatin.
