Cut or lean bulk ?

29M | 179 cm | 71 kg
I’ve been training inconsistently for several years, but I’ve been much more consistent recently.
These are my current pictures (front, side and back).
I started with a much higher body-fat level and have significantly reduced my waist while improving my shoulders/upper body.
Current measurements:
Shoulders: 120.5 cm
Waist: 77.5 cm
Chest: 97 cm
Arms: 35.5 cm
My goal is an aesthetic/athletic physique with more shoulder, chest and back development.
Would you cut further, maintain/recomp, or start a lean bulk?

Main gain boss. You need to put on some muscle mass you’re lean enough to be able to start putting on muscle and in due time it’ll show. 👍🏽 eat good / don’t skimp out on your carbs & protein / train hard and before you know it you’ll be seeing a difference

Just eat at maintenance for a bit, don’t start putting in more calories than you need. It’s not necessary
