Based off of my physique should i cut lean bulk or eat at matience?

[weallgonnamakeittt]

i started my lifting journey at 173 (6'1) and cutted down to around 160, decided to lean bulk to around 162 (mostly water weight) and stopped the bulk because I didn't like how bloated i looked and i also realized I wasn't lean enough, then I cutted down to around 154 and js recently lean bulked up to 156 but once again mostly water weight and i don't like how bloated i look, i heard that you can eat at matience and build the same amount muscle if you were on a cut but i was curious if someone could give me some insights.

U should prolly lean bulk

i heard you can eat at maintenance and still gain the same amount of muscle

I would cut a Little Bit more down just to get lean asf so you can do a lean Bull without getting fat or losing your abs

For female attraction and aesthetics i would cut a bit more until u have defined abs. If u care more about the gym n muscle then lean bulk n try to eat around maintenance, eating 200+ cal over maintenance wont make a difference in muscle growth
