should I cut in puberty or is it ultra bad

[seertyi]

im 16, 5' 10"(179cm), 168lbs and probably like 20% bf, I like have somewhat of a belly especially when I sit down, it's not really coming out much when i stand up though its still squishy my abs r hidden

Dad 6' 1"(185cm), mom 5'5(165cm)

I'm tryna get as much height as I can w/o other stuff (ykwim) cuz I don't have a way to obtain. I heard getting a lower bf could help minimize aromatization, but I also dk if cutting during puberty is smart grew like 1-1.5cm back in december 2025 but nun else since then or before by a few months.

just lmk some tips pls also im trying to get a wrist xray to see if the damn plates are open but every doctor is denying it shit is very annoying

idrc about cutting rn tbh, I was only gonna do it if the lower bf would help with less aromatizing. If it wont, im gonna maintain or stay in a mini surplus for growth in other stuff.

doctors thing is in progress as well

i'd continue to bulk or have a really slight calorie surplus with a high protein and fat assumption with carbs only pre training (if you train that is), till maybe 18/19, then i would cut and ascend, i think even though you will not be in your prime for a pair of years it is a long term investment, assuming you bulk with good food and not some junk shit.
