so I'm 5'9 135 after losing 30 pounds, and I still have a fucking fat gut. Can't be bothered to take a picture but it looks like pic related. What do I do?
Push any lower and I'll be borderline underweight. Should I go down to the absolute limit of 126 pounds, or should I bulk? I look fucking terrible. I thought I'd be legitimately skinny by now.

if that's what you look like at 135 you probably have some kind of genetic disorder and should just give up. I mean this sincerely OP, don't waste your effort on an unachievable goal.
>>39332867
Why would you bulk? Just lift.
>>39332867
Don't bulk. Eat at maintenance for 2-3 months. Then look at yourself again, and ask the same question. There, simple as that. You can make strength gains while eating at maintenance since you're a beginner.
Stop cutting and just eat at maintenance or slightly higher while trying to improve on the compound lifts, dude. I doubt you'd get rid of all the fat at 126 pounds; you'd just have less fat, even less muscle and look worse.
Have you even been lifting?
>be 5'7 manlet at 130 currently
You should be looking around like me more or less. Maybe it's water weight? You can try 126, but you should be noticing a big difference after losing 30lbs. I started at 156.

I guess I'll just try eating at maintenance/lifting for a few months. hopefully I see some results
>>39333003
I see a big difference from when I was 165 but I still look terrible. Just less so.

There ya go anon. Theres your answer. Work on your diet. Eat at maintenance and lift.
>>39333025
Just keep lifting and eating properly. How many carbs are you eating/drinking a day?
Were you lifting while losing weight? You're supposed to be lifting.
