hello, a little back story before I start. I am a 30 year old mother of 3 I’ve worked out for years doing all different forms of exercise, but I never really monitored what I ate I just ate whatever I felt like eating. After my last baby (a year ago) I really started focusing on my diet along with training.

I have been bulking the last 3 months I started at 142.2lbs 21% body fat and I am now at 152.3 lbs and 28.8% body fat (I’m not sure how accurate my scale is because I don’t feel like my bf is that high)
But I am kind of stuck if I should continue to bulk or if I should just start to cut. The pictures below are the start of my bulk and now. I honestly don’t see much of a difference.
