I've been bulking since september and my weight reached 166 lbs after losing 75 lbs (235 to 160) in 6 months ( October to march) then I started lifting for about 7 months (April till now).
The picture on the left is me before bulking and on the right is me now, Will i forever look like shit? What am i doing it wrong? I'm feeling like shit even though most of my lifts went up during this bulk here are some examples.
Squat: from 90 to 120 kgs
OHP : 40 to 50 kgs
Bench: 65 to 80 kgs
deadlift: 100 to 135 kgs
I'm 5"10 btw
What part are you thinking "looks like shit"?
You've only been lifting for 7 months and you started from pretty much nothing.
is that loose skin?

come back after 2+ years of lifting not with this half a year bullshit

Something looks wrong, get a new body and start over

Yeah i've got lots of it on my love handles,belly and inner thighs....

To be honest my lower torso is the most part i hate about me, I think it's mostly because of the loose skin.

Are you bulking to add muscle or just maintaining? In my opinion maintenance is a pointless endeavor if you aren't already built. Either cut fat or bulk for muscle.
Your frame needs more muscle, especially around your core.

>To be honest my lower torso is the most part i hate about me,
That's not loose skin, it's fat. If how you look is still messing with you psychologically you should cut down to the point where you can see at least an outline of your abs
It provides a nice psychological boost because your body fat was already high, and you're only going to put on more fat as you're bulking.
At least that way you'll have some motivation.

Are you sure it's fat? Because i've been fat all my life and i'm pretty sure it's mostly loose skin. Besides i've tried "Cutting" down to 145 but i looked even waaay worse than i do now. Which is why i'm trying bulking now because it's the only thing i haven't tried until now

looks like skin to me, especially the second pic in your original post
166 lbs at 5'10 with those lifts, means your bodyfat percentage will still be quite high.
I weigh 143 lbs at 5'11 and my lifts are only a little bit lower than you:
ohp:45
bench:75
deadlift: 115
I'd say its a combination of loose skin and fat still. I can not give you advice about this. Maybe you should have a talk with your doctor. He will be able to give you a bodyfat estimate and he will tell you whether the loose skin will go away.
