I just turned 16 my growth plates are closed so no more height growth thats why i though to cut im 5‘10 and 20%bf and want to cut down to 10-12% but i dont want to mess anything up (hormones,etc.. all things that worsen my piberty or final looks i want to look the best possible) ik a deficit would improve my looks if i end up beeing 11% but i want to look at it in the long term will that mess with my puberty ?
What will be affected by the cut/caloric deficit?
 
you can have mild deficit of ~300, just make sure you get enough micronutrients

You’re better off eating in a maintenance and doing physical exercise, you should get around 15% bf

not really it's not so much about the calories in or whatever unless you are starving or eating like cbum, it's nutrition. i was in a pretty high calorie surplus during my teen years but it was all carbs and sugars with 0 nutrients or vitamins and coupled with poor sleep so my growth got stunted. was 5'10" at 17 despite being 5'8" at 14, then once i changed my diet in college and ate nutrient dense clean food and im now 6 foot at 20. people might say its cope or larp or whatever but my projected height was 6'1" - 6'2" so something mustve went wrong
