Is it better to lose weight and then bulk up or try and build

I'd honestly be happier with that body and that hair than what I have now.

that guy has literally no muscle so you'd be good with just cutting, i've seen long distance runners bigger than that lol

Well that's not really Op, he was pretending to be me. I'd be happy just being fit and I can add muscle later.

I'm just scared of going full wimp mode and making it harder to lift

Personally I'm all for a well adjusted long term diet with lifts + cardio, but you get shit on for saying that around here.
They prefer muh keto and muh intermittent fasting, I'm not saying they're bad, but they're temporary and you won't fix your lifestyle.

What's the quicker though? When I was going to gym I couldn't lose more than 2lbs a week.

On my current diet in the past injury month I can lose close to a pound a day without gym or any exercise

Thing is, that's exactly what you would want to be stable and KEEP your weight.
But if going quicker is necessary, you answered your own question: stick to the diet and cardio. Once you feel good, go lift again and gain muscle from there.
But I repeat, a good diet is most important.

Okay, my diet is pretty clean. I'm just very impatient, want to look good before summer.

At 209 I still need to lose another 30 lbs which is a lot.

Just be consistent and you'll get there in no time, good luck anon.

If you're around 20%BF then recomp. Chances are you'll go down to around 15% by the time you max out your noob gains.

If you're around 25% lift on a 500kcal deficit and then recomp, should hit sub-20% by end of noob gains.

If you're 30% or over definetly concentrate on cutting first, lift too - but focus on losing the weight instead of increasing lifts. Chances are you'll fuck up your first cut if it is too substantial and lose a lot of your gains, it's easier to see progress and not get discouraged if you're not a fat fuck, plus your test will go up and gains will be faster if you lose some flab first.
