should i cut at 15

[Smorgishborg]

hovering around 15-16 percent bf. 15 years old and 5’9-5’10. should i go into a calorie deficit at this stage or will that stunt my growth. i really need to be at least 6ft but also getting lean might be the only thing saving face currently.

if you really want to yes, a slight deficit. Hormone production is at its peak 12-15% bf if you really want to do it go for it, but its kinda dumb considering that you're relatively lean and i would just focus on building muscle mass right now, although id recommend most people that are above 15% to cut even if they're in puberty make sure its a very slight deficit and you're hitting your macros and micro targets
