Here's the situation...
Height: 188 cm [6'1"]
Age: 30
Weight on June 6th: 113 kg (249 lbs)
Weight on September 19th: 94.5 kg (208 lbs)
Total weight loss so far: 18.5 kg (40.7 lbs)
I was totally out of shape, very overweight, weighing 113 kg, with an absolutely huge, disgusting stomach, and piles of fat all around my waist and around my thighs as well. On June 6th I began cutting, and I'm continuing to cut. As of yesterday I'm at 94.5 kg, so over the course of three and a half months I dropped a total of 18.5 kg, which I'm quite satisfied with. When I look in the mirror, I really love the progress.
Unfortunately, I don't have any shirtless "before" photos, although I could probably find a couple where I'm wearing clothes. However, the photos I attached are how I look now. The lighting is pretty crappy, but hey, it is what it is. I'm only flexing my right arm in one photo (04.jpg). The other photos are relaxed.
My questions are as follows:
1.) Can someone please estimate my current BF%? I really hope that I'm at least slightly under 20%, but I'm not sure if that's the case.
2.) Based on that BF% and my height and current weight, how many kg/lbs would I approximately need to drop for my abs to start showing?
3.) After I finish cutting, my goal is to do clean bulking. Now based on my photos, my stats, and the fact that I have a small frame (thumb and middle finger overlap at wrist), what final weight should I aim for, before starting to bulk?
Any insight is much appreciated.
Also, if anyone is interested in details on how I dropped all the weight, I'd be happy to answer any questions. In short, a caloric deficit combined with resistance training and minimal HIIT cardio.
Thanks everyone!
