I don't know if I should be cutting or bulking. I'm by no means thin but I wouldn't say fat either. I need to know right now so I can get my diet in check!

Cut until you see abs, then bulk

does that mean without flexing them?
it would be fairly pointless for you to cut at this point. you'd just be really skinny and weak and your bf% would have to go up again anyway when you start bulking. at your level of bf% you can bulk without increasing your bf% and get much bigger and stronger, then cut when it's time to look good.

Thanks for the feedback. Seems like the right thing.

The correct answer is to bulk but do cardio at the same time to maintain proportions.

yes
you'll gain too much fat on top of your current bf% if you'd bulk even at a 400-500 kcal surplus
if i'd be you i'd cut hard with very high calorie deficit (1000-1500) for a month, youll be skinny but at least you won't be fat as fuck with tons of stretch marks and only a little bit of extra muscle.
month is nothing in terms of muscle gain and you could make gains while cutting as you're a newb. your current bf% is already the upper limit you ever should go to while bulking
high bf% = worse gains, stretch marks, lower test, high estro (could get gyno even in worst case) and worse health.
