Currently 81kg at 5'10". Aiming for a lean aesthetic / V-taper at 12% body fat.

1. Do I have enough muscle mass to start the cut now, or should I keep lean bulking?

2. Best tips to keep my size and strength while dropping the fat?

3. Best movements to keep my lats/shoulders wide while the waist thins out?

Worried about looking too small if I cut too early. Appreciate any advice.
