I'm currently 51.5 kg morning weight (113 lbs), like 14-15% bf at 177 cm (5'8) I have slightly visible abs. Ive been going to the gym for 6 months. I would like to know if my smartest move is to eat in a big surplus to maximize my pubertal growth + muscle growth (I'm just entering tanner 4/Leaving 3), My maintenence is 2900 kcal and I eat 3200-3800 kcal of strictly ancestral foods.

Do I do a smaller surplus or keep it like this? I think my waist has grown slightly, from like 66 cm to 68 cm.

52kg on 177 is too skinny dude, focus on gaining weight at all cost.

I know bro, I want to stay lean in the process
Nigga I'm not even joking, just gain weight, go at least up to 60kg, then focus on looks, like that is genuinely anomalic weight.

i used to be 38 kg at 166 cm 9 months ago, ive figured that out already. My BMI is exxagerated because i have a very narrow pelvis, so i have more mass on my upper and lower body.
