honestly I've noticed a pattern whenever my bmi is the highest my growth spurt is the largest,when I was 12 I was at about 162cm and had a bmi of about 19 and I grew to 174cm in a year then growth slowed down and I grew to 177cm (14) in a year then I grew to 180cm (early 15) then to about 187cm (late 15 current)
Yeah exactly thats why you dont hyperfocus on trying to be as low bf as possible during puberty cuz you could screw yourself over with not growing taller

if you eat better you should just lose weight naturally and shouldnt fuck up your growth

fair enough, cardio is quite a good way to lose fat

Unless you are overweight then keep the extra weight and nutrition to grow
