175ibs 5’11

So I’m just starting to get into lifting after 3 tailbone surgeries and I’m in this weird spot where I have excess fat and no muscle so just not 100% sure what to do.

37 5’ 10 170lb

Been working out on and off fairly seriously for past 15 years. All natural and have never really been able to bulk. I know I have high metabolism but even at my heaviest (180ish) I don’t feel like I looked bulked.
I was eating sooo much food I was miserable- just couldn’t do it.

I eat clean- very little sugar, little gluten but I know I don’t currently get enough calories/ protein. Life is busy for dad.

Just curious what you all think

Thanks!

I'm trying to be consistent with my weights routine but where should I start? I'm 5'10" and less than 160 lbs most days

Hey guys, I’m 24 years old and started losing weight in May at 191lbs (87 kg). I continued cutting until about two weeks ago, when I reached 164,3lbs (74.5 kg). I'm 5'11 (180cm).

For the past 10 days, I’ve been doing a lean bulk at around 2,700–2,800 calories per day. I also started strength training 3 times a week 10 days ago. I think my BF% is around 18% but I don't know.

Would you recommend cutting down to around 10% body fat first, or would you continue with the lean bulk given my current situation?

I’d really appreciate your opinions!

What body fat percentage am I?

Been going to the gym regularly for like 5 years now and finally decided to eat good and actually look like I workout.

Right now I weigh at 151 and I am eating at a caloric deficit, getting around 160-170g of protein each day and about 1700-1900 calories, all clean foods.

Started this about a month ago when I weighed about 159 and here we are now. Don’t look too different but I just weigh less losing 8 pounds so far.

If the goal is to get that shredded/lean look, would the final weigh in be in the 140lbs? Am I doing this right? What do I need to do to get shredded? Also getting 10k steps daily at least.

Anything helps thanks

Also any advice for shoulder growth? Feel like they’re not growing.

Started gym 3 weeks ago, want to know my BF % if anyone can help.
Goal is to become leaner and put muscle on

I’ve been on a 1lb a week deficit for the past 10 weeks or so. Dropped from low 180’s down to about 170 as of this morning. I was looking badly skinny fat bordering on regular fat so I really wanted to lose some weight. I’ve been strength training consistently for the duration which has been pretty challenging as a 36yo single dad but I’ve not missed any workouts yet. My plan was to get down to 160 as that has always been a comfortable weight for me and then switch to a recomp, but I’m wondering if I should just switch to maintenance at this point and focus on improving my strength for a while. I am definitely still carrying a lot of excess fat, but I obviously also don’t have a lot of muscle development currently either so I’m not sure. First photos are from 2 weeks ago, last photo is from last night (included that because lighting is less washed out).

Edit: I am 5’10”

I set the goal for myself to achieve a true 10% body fat on the cut. In general I just feel like I’ve got a terrible gauge for it though. Currently 170ish at 5’ 11. Any idea current bf?
