Maintain or cut?

[Kraqq]

im 17 and 180lbs and like around 22% bf with a good bit of muscle mass

im tryna make sure to optimize my development and not fuck up anything, whether for height, face or frame
i wanna know if it would be smarter to maintain where im at rn and ig do a slow body recomp, or do a 6 week very aggressive cut then either slight surplus or maintain

If your maintenance is really 3k then do 2.5 for like a hard cut you don’t gotta starv yourself

No not if you’re tracking your macros right and training consistently 100 will get you nowhere
