I'm 5'9" (175 cm), 62 kg, and estimate I'm around 19–20% body fat. I have noticeable face fat, but after a workout and when I get enough potassium, my face looks much sharper. I've trained on and off, but from today I'll be consistent. I'm also taking oral minoxidil 2.5 mg and wonder if it could be contributing to facial bloating. My goal is to get a permanently leaner face, even if I look a bit skinny initially. Based on current evidence, should I cut to around 15% body fat first, start with a lean bulk, or try body recomposition? Is body recomposition actually effective for someone in my situation or is it usually slower than cutting or bulking? How many gym sessions per week (4, 5, or 6) would be ideal, how much cardio or walking should I do, and if cutting is the best approach, what calorie deficit would maximise fat loss while preserving muscle?
