[Mod] Simple Questions - the weekly stupid questions thread! - Week Beginning April 05, 2021

I need some help. I started working out about half a year ago at 180cm/5'11 62kg/135-140lbs. My goal was to get some muscle mass and get ripped. Just wanted to get that lean model body look. So I decided to bulk up slowly and I accidentally did the opposite, because I was not counting my calories right.

While I was learning the exercises, form, and all at a very low weight, I was bulking really hard, and I literally gained 8kg in less than 2.5 months, which was probably over 95% fat.

Since then I have pretty much just been eating maintenance calories, not been 100% consistent with working out. Problem is that I'm high body fat at a low weight and it affects my face a lot. Looking back at pictures before I was bulking my face was a lot more defined and chiseled.

Is it a good idea to do a very slow cut back to 62kg/135-140lbs to get a very good starting point again. So i don’t need to do a cut later? And then do a lean bulk up to 155lbs/70kg? So i stay low bf throughout the process?

Because i’m not feeling comfortable with my looks, body at all right now because of higher body fat :/

Any advice?
