1 am 5 ft 4, female, age 30 and 138lbs (was 130) body fat 30%. For the past 4 months I have been focusing on gaining strength and its been working but I've been slowly gaining weight and my measurements are getting bigger. IT SUCKS to be fitter and not look it. I always hear about cutting and bulking. I was wondering if I should maintain the muscle I have and focus on nutrition more to cut the weight and then go back to gaining muscle. What do you suggest?
