Glutes became perkier but refuse to grow?

18F basically at my wits end. I have been lifting for 8 months and have made some glute gains (atleast compared to before where I was like a complete ironing board). I’ve been lowkey skinny fat so I’ve been cutting at 1450-1500 ish (TDEE is 1800) and I’ve lost my ass completely and my waist has only seen minimal change whilst I’ve definitely lost a kg.

TLDR- how tf do I recomp?? Surplus?? Or am I just genetically doomed to never be lean w a muscular ass. My glutes only grow perkier and harder, never bigger per say
