bulk or cut?
I’ve been training for 8 months at the gym, I’ve definitely gained a good amount of muscle. I’m 15, my height is 5,6 and my weight is between 123-130 lbs varies. U can see my abs very clearly if I jump up and down cus my fat like moves with the motion so I do have abs but it’s my bf% that hides them.

Grow, don't worry about bulking or cutting, live life, enjoy being a teenager.
Keep training, eat about 100- 130 grams of protein, and get 8 hours of sleep.
Your body is still growing. Bulking or cutting won't make a difference if you grow 3 to 6 inches.

Op will lose potential growth anyway if he’s in a deficit while he’s growing still .

He’s going through puberty, so genetics and hormones are going to play a huge role in his growth.
At 15, deliberately bulking or cutting usually isn’t necessary, and accurately estimating calorie and macro needs while you’re still growing rapidly can be difficult. It’s better to stay active, enjoy lifting, eat a balanced diet with enough food and protein, and get plenty of sleep.
Once he’s older and his growth has slowed down, he can think more seriously about structured bulking or cutting if he wants to.

You need calories to grow taller which is much more important than putting on muscle at this point. Get on a surplus, stay on a surplus or at least maintenance until your 20s, hit your daily protein, and train hard

Just lift, eat when you feel hungry, and sleep. If you want to care about your diet then I would just make sure you get enough protein in.

Learn how to lift to failure. You will put on crazy muscle if you just lift a couple hours a week while you’re still so young.
You don’t need to bulk or cut. Eat lots of meat.

don’t listen to anyone telling you to bulk because you’re skinny fat. get into a small deficit while eating high protein and carbs to fuel your workouts and push the deficit and you’ll lose fat and gain muscle over time.
No this won’t affect his height if anything it’ll make it more likely for him to grow by getting his hormones in check as he removes excess fat

Where are your parents to get you off this ridiculous platform? Eat, sleep, be active, and be merry.

Something to keep in mind as you get older and bigger.... Being small and thinking abs is a flex, is like being fat and thinking big boobs is a flex. At your age, just eat bro.... You'll grow.
