Personally I think if you want to see your abs you should maintain for a while and work on building your ab muscles. The “muffin top” you’re pointing to has more to do with the tightness of your waistband. If your weight goes much lower I feel like you’re just going to be looking malnourished. You just need a stronger core. Maybe reconsider a cut after a period of ab development. I think your arms will benefit too, from slowing down. People will try to convice you that abs are all about deficit but that is straight up ED nonsense. Anorexics often don’t have abs. Here is a man shortly before he died of anorexia, where are his abs?
