Actually, I've noticed everyone has a different effect on bulking. Like you, I also gained belly fat while bulking, it's just how some human body responds to it. Rather than cutting calories which I am assuming might not be a lot, focus more on cardio and mobility, should help you burn better while also retaining better movements. I faced stiffness while bulking, so def something I prefer doing now

Belly Fat during Bulking?

Belly Fat during Bulking?- Grapevine

Needed advice on diet and a review of my current routine. I’m around 75 kgs and around 6 feet tall, have a lean physique but the lower belly fat bugs me. Wanted to know the right way to get rid of this belly fat, is a calorie deficit with some cardio enough? Or should I give more time to lifting? What would the macros look like for the calorie deficit. 

Wanna know from folks who’ve been in a similar situation

So I've been working out for a while, I do understand that spot reductions do not work. I lift 5-6x per week and also average 9k-10k step a day. 

I've lost a lot of fat overall I'd say especially from my arms and legs however I don't feel I'm losing a lot of fat from my abdominal area(belly+side). I do feel healthier and much better though and have put on decent muscles.

As for diet, it's not horrible. Negligible sugar intake and eating out/junk is not very common as well. I'd say I order in once in 10 days on average. Usually I'm able to get in 90gm+ protein. 

Should I be doing something differently?

I joined the gym one month ago

I joined a gym to gain weight. I took measurements initially and also today. 1.5 kg weight gain and lost a little tummy fat other than that no noticeable other changes. 


I discussed my diet with one of the gym trainers, He says it is good. 

But now all my motivation is gone.
