I've dropped about 14kg in the last 5 months (83kg to roughly 69kg). According to BMI, I'm finally in the healthy zone, but I'm honestly not satisfied with how I look yet. I'm feeling a bit lost on where to go from here. Current Stats & Routine: Height/Weight: 169cm / 69kg Diet: Was eating 1,600 kcal, recently bumped to 1,800. Protein is high (consistently 170g+). Activity: 6k steps daily + 100 mins of Zone 3/4 cardio per week. Lifting: 4x/week (Upper/Lower split). I track consistency religiously. The Problem: Since bumping calories to 1,800, I haven't noticed much physical change. My gym performance has stalled or slightly decreased. I also have a weird strength imbalance. My lower body is decent (Squat 90kg, maxed out the leg extension machine), but my upper body lags behind significantly (Lat pull 40kg, Bench 50-60kg). The Question: I'm debating two options: Keep cutting: Drop down to around 60kg to try and hit 15% body fat, then build up. Maingain/Recomp: Stay at this weight, eat at maintenance, and hope the upper body strength catches up. Given that my lifts are stalling and I'm feeling unsatisfied despite the weight loss, what would you guys do?
