Is it worth cutting from 16% to 10-12%, even if I have no muscles, but my face is still a bit chubby?

At around 16% body fat right now. 6'2 74kg. Abs are kinda visible depending on lighting.

My face is still a bit chubby so that's why I've been thinking of cutting down.

However, every single gym goer tells me to bulk and definitely not to cut otherwise i will look skeletal (I don't have much muscle)

If ur still in puberty slight surplus/maintenance, if you arent you can cut till 10% then lean bulk but you wont look good during your cut

Hmm yeah, I'm 20. Facial aesthetics is more important to me to be honest but also don't want to look like a complete stick.

Bulking doesn´t make much sense unless you are on roids. You´ll make progress as long as you keep the carbs high and get enough protein and fats
 
100%

bulking offers no benefits to muscle growth as it is, you'll look way better at 10-12%, and it'll help you be healthier, and build muscle better
