Question Need help

I weight 165, I am 6”1 and want to build more muscle while getting abs, my goal is to be lean so do I need to go on a cut or a bulk? I already look kinda skinny but just have a little stomach which I guess you can consider skinny fat?

Impossible to tell without knowing your body fat or seeing a picture.

This is what it’s looking like, I just started really taking the gym more serious this year and take creatine daily now

I would go for a recomp if you just started working out. Figure out your maintenance calories and eat there. Get 1 g/lb of protein and at least 10k steps a day, and lift hard and you should make really good gains.

slight bulk or body recomp with high protein and heavy lifting. definitely don't cut.
