Will I look small with my first cut?

[gario]

I’ve been in the gym for over six months and gained 14 kg of weight—most of it fat. I want to get down to around 14% body fat through cutting and recomping. I’ll probably be able to gain about 1 kg of muscle during recomp because of noob gains. Planning a three-month cut.


I started at 20% body fat, and now I’m in the 26–27% range. I wonder if I’ll look really small if I lose around 8 kg?. Honestly, I don’t want to go back to my skinny build.


This what I look now.

Low body fat percentage is more important than muscularity because your face is most important. You need to lose fat.

Order from most to least important features:

(1) Face.
(2) Height.
(3) Fashion / Frame.
(4) Status / Popularity.

Your face should be your top priority.

I agreed. I need only lose like 8kg of weight. I can do that with slow cut 3-4 month period. 500 calorie deficit probably will no fuck uP MY glyco pumps..

Yes, lean bulking is ideal or in my case mini bulks + cuts to never go overboard on the fat gain
