your bmi is almost overweight, i dont think will mess up your growth, just sleep 8+ hours and eat good diet you're gtg

how lean would i need to get before it gets to be “too much cutting” at my age

if stay at 200-600 cal deficit you well prob not get stunted

Depends, if you aggressively full on aggressively cut like eating 500-1000 cals a day only then yeah it will mess up your growth

Fucking idiot said "is it safe?". Your acting like its some drug to cut, its fine to cut at any age and for your your lowkey fat. Cut with a high carb and high protien diet with good sleep and u won't lose any height potentional.
