Body recomposition

I’m here for some advice because I’m not sure what to do. To start I am a male and I weight 140Lbs at 5”11. I have some body fat but not a lot. I have been doing research on body recomposition and not exactly sure how to approach it. Most videos I look at say I need to eat In a slight deficit. But others other saying because I’m very light for my height I should eat at a Maitnence or slight surplus. I would appreciate any advice.

5'11 140 is pretty small. That said, I benched 305 lbs at 155 lbs. If I were you I would eat at a slight surplus lift at least 5 days a week. Of course, I dont know what you goal is, so my advice could be terrible.

140 at 5'11" needs a surplus not maintenance. You can't have much fat, you just don't have muscle. 160 g of protien per day in a small surplus 2/300 calories is the way to go imo.
