And if so what calories should i be eating Surplu,Maintenance Or deficit

 

[Sulfuras]

my guy, if you want to lose fat you need to be in a deficit
and you can build some muscle if you train hard and eat enough protein

So my maintenance is 3k cals for e.g if i eat 2.5k and 180g of protein and strength train 5x a week i can lose fat whilst building muscle at the same time

Why would you wanna stay natty?

The answer to this question is yes but not practically

building muscle is an energy expensive process which requires calories, so losing fat would require being in a deficit and halting muscle growth to a significant degree

you can build muscle, but most likely not tangibly so unless your 22% bodyfat+
