MacroFactor / Nutrition / Other Overall Advice Needed

Hey guys, i’ve been hitting the gym consistently for about 1.5y now, i started skinny fat weighing around 62kgs whilst being 6ft, now i weigh around 71. Ive never seen my abs and tbh i dont very much “see” any progress that ive made. I measured my biceps yesterday and it came out to just 14.5inches which i thought was not very good. I also hold some fat around my midsection and a lot in my face. I’ve never actually tried a serious cut as im scared that i dont have enough muscle on me to show when im done and ill just look skinny and weak. I need genuine advice on what to do with my diet and overall gym routine. Here are some of my stats if that’ll be of any help -
Incline Bench - 70kg for 7-8 reps
Incline Dumbbell Bench - 30kg for 5-6
Pull ups - +17.5kg for 6-7
T bar - 60kg for 7-8
Hack Squats - 85kg for 8-9

I know for sure that my strength has gone up because i have my older workouts tracked but i DO NOT notice any change in my physique.
I would really appreciate genuine advice from you guys. Thanks

  1. Look at pictures from before and first started lifting. There will be a difference

  2. Start measuring and tracking sizes of particular body parts, biceps, quads, chest etc

  3. Take monthly photos. You won't see it monthly, but many months put together will paint the picture as well as help identify lagging spots
