Sorry if this sounds stupid and long-winded but I’m new here and new to fitness and need advice as to where to go next. I lost 60 pounds over the last 2 years (30 of them in the last 5 months). I want to keep lean while also building muscle, but I’m unsure if I should be cutting or adding mass. Part of me thinks 155 pounds is too low (I’m 5’11’’), but another part of me is afraid to start gaining weight again because I lived as a fatty for so long. I’m afraid to eat more because to myself I still feel really fat (probably because of loose skin?), but I’m starting to think I might need to get above the 150 pound mark to start looking better. In the last 2 months, I increased my daily calories from ~1800 to ~2600 and started aiming for 120g of protein a day, and reduced cardio and increased training which I hope will help. I’m noticing a lot of good visual changes but I just want to ensure I’m on the right track.

I guess I’m just looking for advice, criticism, and suggestions regarding my diet and body recomposition process. Anything would be appreciated.

I’ll post a few pics of how I look today. Unfortunately I don’t have many older pictures.
