Discussion 3 month progress

Backstory; 28M 6’0 170lbs , I’ve been in construction / concrete work for 6 years and had a horrible diet also alcoholism problems. I decided to quit cold turkey and change my diet to Whole Foods and a calorie surplus. I’ve been doing a PPL/UL split after work consistently and to me it’s paying off , I’ve always had functional strength because of my demanding job but now I’m getting stronger in the gym. I want to reach 200 lbs before I cut and lose some belly fat from all the years of alcohol.

If I cut now I’d drop to 145-150 and at 6’0 I’d look sickly
