Hello. I used to be very lean, probs could’ve used a bulk back in my lifting days. Recently got back into it because I’m missing my having a more toned midsection. Currently at 160lbs, developed some love handles from not taking care of my body the way I used to. How long do you think it would take to see my abs again?? Should I just start hitting the cardio even harder and how long do you think I’d need to be in a calorie deficit? Thank you! (First photo is what I used to look like at 150lbs, second is where I’m at now about 7 years apart. I’m okay with having a little less muscle mass for the summer, just want to look good in my own eyes again for it. So any tips would be very helpful!)
