I think I just realized something, when you started, you were skinny fat, so you focused on cutting and got leaner, that is where most of the difference in your face comes from, you lost a lot of face fat, which means that leanmaxxing really is legit even if you're not fat when you start. In my case, I am probably between 15 and 20% body fat. Maybe if I were to cut I would look much better than I do now because I do have some fat around the face.
The one thing that has stopped me from leanmaxxing is mostly that I worry that if I do it, I won't be able to recover in the gym and won't make any progress, and since gaining muscle is more important for me, I'm focusing mainly on that.
In your case, did your progress in the gym slow down while you were cutting or were you just not trying to gain muscle at all? I am not entirely sure how it works because some youtubers claim that you can't build muscle while remaining lean while others claim that you can.
