Hey guys
So I used to weigh around 160, maybe about 6 months ago.
Now I am at 180.
I have bulked up in both muscle and fat.
I like the weight I am at but I want to loose the fat.
Mostly belly and chest fat.
I guess you can say I want to start cutting.
How do I do that exactly?
I don't have the greatest of knowledge when it comes to what workouts to do, how much cardio to do, or what types of food I should and should not be eating
All I know is not to eat sugar lol.
Can I know some fitness tips from you guys?
What types of food should I eat?
What types of food should I avoid eating?
What workouts should I do?
How much cardio should I do?
Should I do cardio before or after weight lifting?
What kind of supplements should I take, if any at all?
Or just other tips you may what to share
I appreciate your help and the time you have taken to post here in advance.
Hey man congratulations for your weight gain ! Hopefully you have made a so called clean bulk and not one of those EAT MOTHAFAKING BEASTMODE -ones (as i did just to test it)

Can I know some fitness tips from you guys?
- Tips from own experience is to take it slow, depending on how much you have weight to lose it might take time from 1-6 months, DONT overdo and DONT try to find some quick solution for weight loss, it comes with time and patience believe me
What types of food should I eat?
In my opinion you can start with the food you have eaten for the time being on bulk, but the difference is the portion of the food. As i have tried to find a way to listen your own body when it comes to weight loss/weight gain, i have seen the best way without tracking the macros is to cut the food plate in to 3 pieces. 1/2 of the plate being vegetables, 1/4 being carbohydrates ( rice, pasta, potatoes etc.) and the last 1/4 being protein (meat, chicken, turkey,fish etc.)
Avoid foods that seems harmless but consist of lots of calories like sausages bacon and stuff with high fat

DONT make huge changes at one time same here as in exercises
What types of food should I avoid eating?
Answered on the second question, foods which are high caloric (fat foods)
What workouts should I do?
Its really up to you what you like to do, depending on you body frame (if you have already a good amount of muscle in you) you might look good with less fat% or you might look a bit skinny if you cut down and see that you actually dont have much of a muscle in you, BE REALISTIC TO YOURSELF
Usually people like to do cardio when cutting down and besides that weight training to keep those muscles which you have achieved when bulking down to the point when you are satisfied with your body
How much cardio should I do?
If you want to do cardio i suggest you start adding cardio 1-3 training sessions keeping it in 30-45 min keep the cardio pace low to medium or if you like to do HIIT training then do it for 30 min which consists of 10min warmup 1-5 sprints (30sec runnning/1min walking) and about 10min cooldowns (start adding more cardio from 1 session to 3 sessions in a week by adding cardio weekly or monthly one training more then in last week/month)
Should I do cardio before or after weight lifting?
I have tried both ways, and for me the best option is to do cardio separately, that being for my weight training consisting of heavy work which cardio plays a bit role if done before or after, so i suggest you to do the cardio separately or you can do it after the weight training as a conditioning of the weight train
What kind of supplements should I take, if any at all?
I have tried with supplements and without supplements and from my point of view the supplements are as said SUPPLEMENTS. You dont necessarily need them as when you are being relatively new to working out and cutting, the key is to get your diet correct. Then if you see you are not doing something right with your eating habits or you have already seen the weight loss/bulking up without supplements and believe they might help you make better results, then adding them would be proper.
Sorry for a bit bad english but hopefully this helps you out, if you have any questions feel free to PM me
