Did you not just do a bulk? What were the results of that? Did you realize more strength? If so probably also more muscle. All good stuff.
I have not yet done culking for a goal. We hit on it in my bulk but only for a short time period. I set out to bulk and that is what we did. I gained nearly 20 lbs!!!
You never stop thinking about it unfortunately but you can set goals that are easier than others.
You stop cycling when you are at a place where you are happy with what you got or when you just want a break from cycling. Since I know I will never be happy with what I got I set up times for maintain in my year. For me, the year goes sort of like this
Sep-Feb (bulk) - up to low 20% bf
March-June (cut) - down to 10% bf
June-Sep (maintain) - around 15% bf
That (of course) presumes no show schedule to work around.
The question for opinions about your body are not fair. I would answer that you need more meat NOT be leaner. Where are your muscles girl? A girl can NEVER have enough muscle! LOL! Seriously... when you are as lean as you are, the answer about where to go has to come from inside of you.
