I've been dieting/cutting for several years now and am 14 pounds away from what I intend to be my final goal weight. I've gone from 265 to 132, with a goal of 118.
My first question, I'm still what I would consider skinny fat. I look good in clothes but look fat with none, particually my belly and underarms. The 118 of my goal weight puts me at the lower end of my BMI, so I'm afraid to really go under that and wondering if my next step is to bulk and add some muscle, and then try to cut the remaining fat along with what is gained during the bulk? Or should I push myself under what is an acceptable BMI for my height (5'6")?
Secondly, I have loose skin from my weight loss. I know bulking/cutting cycles aren't going to make this any better, and if anything cutting more body fat is going to make it look worse. I don't know if anyone has ever been in the same position, but I'd like to have surgery to get the skin fixed. Would it be best to do this, get a quote so I can save up as soon as I hit my 118, or am I better off bulking/cutting for a few cycles until I'm exactly where I want to be bodyfat percentage wise and muscle wise? (I'm guessing the latter).
And lastly, I've been a long time dieter/cutter, but I've never bulked before and while I know some basics like I need to eat more calories and hit the gym, I don't really know anything beyond that. There used to be a building muscle subdivision of the forum here, but I can't find it. Are there any resources around that will point me in the right direction in terms of things like how many excess calories I need personally for a bulk? Grams of extra protein? Should I lift heavy with low reps or moderate weight with high reps and drop sets? Etc.
