Paranoid about stunted development (20M)

[suicidemonkey]

I might be fucked, when I was 18 going on 19 I went into a steep deficit from 17% body fat to 12% body fat in a matter of 2-3 months.

After that I started binge eating and gained a shit load of fat, I steadily lost around 4kg of pure fat over 9 months (basically a chronic deficit). I was going to the gym 3-4X a week for at least 6 months but I never gained any muscle because I simply wasn't eating enough.

For the last 3-4 months, I have had this habit of binge eating shit food and then fasting completely (often 36 hours, but I once water fasted up to 65 hours). It was once a week for a while but it's been hard to cut the habit.

I gained 1.75kg of fat in the last 2 months and I look skinnyfat, but I also look very young for my age to the point people are surprised (20 looking 16 years old physically). I legit look younger than any guy my age and it's embarrassing. But it's been at least a year since I last grew in height at all, so I might be overreacting.

I want to cut again but I am paranoid as fuck about my development, what should I do? I actually started looking good and getting IOIs, but now I'm a MTN. Turn 20 very soon, like 18% body fat

No issues but chatGPT said my height might’ve been a little stunted at least my genes were good and i’m not super short

same situation being 20 and looking 16 also barely ate anything when i was 19 so i could get to like 10% bodyfat so feel like i stunted my growth a little hopefully ill have a late growth spurt somehow
