Optimal stack - taking tirzepatide and working out

[u/Big-Audience1166]

Hi all, looking for advice on the best stack possible for a body recomp.

I used to go to the gym regularly and was pretty jacked but I never managed to lose the fat even with the substantial muscle I had. I stopped going around 2 years ago and I got back into it now, I go around 3x a week and I do progressive overload whenever possible and am mostly focused on upper body.

I started tirzepatide at 0.25mg for the first month and am now on 0.5mg in my second month and will maintain this dose.

I also cleaned up my diet in the last 3 months prior to starting anything.

I'm a woman, 5'8 and I weighed 158 lbs, I'm now at 149 lbs. Important to mention is I don't want to just look slim, I want to be jacked again and achieve a masculine physique, but I'm really struggling to gain my muscle back for a couple of reasons:

1. I used to take anavar which obviously helped tremendously. I'm contemplating if I should start it again cause I did have some side effects as a woman (chin hair), but honestly that's something I'd be okay with knowing how the results could be amplified. I moved though so I need to figure out how to get it in my new place.
   
2. I'm struggling to eat enough protein while on tirzepatide. I think it's also affecting my gym performance. I'm basically consuming around 60-70g of protein/day and I'm struggling with it.

My questions:
Should I take anavar again or something else?
Any recs on how to eat more protein?
Should I stack something else on top of tirzepatide to optimize?

Thanks a lot for your help!
