LGD or RAD to recomp?
I ran my first LGD cycle a couple months ago and did really like it. I’d say though almost all of the fullness I got was water retention and I have since lost it, when while being in gym consistently. My strength has also gone down too - all were expected.
My issue now is that I am skinny fat and my upper body is still pretty under developed but my fat is all held in my love handles/lower back and also lower chest.
My goal is to gain 5 true pounds of muscle and lose at least 5 true pounds of fat and I think I’d at least feel confident enough to take my shirt off. I know I could do this the legit way - but to be honest it would take much longer and I have trips planned end of august that I really want to at least feel somewhat confident on at the pool.
I am not sure if I should do LGD again or RAD for the gains. I also may take a very low dosage of reta with either to keep calories at a slight deficit or maintenance along with cardio to actually be able to lose true fat lbs and recomp.
I really really want to focus on my chest growth the most which just seems hard for me.
I’ve attached pictures for reference. Lighting is horrible but you kinda get the point.
Please give me any advice on what to run as I plan on starting in next couple weeks.

Background:
I recently finished an 8 week cycle of LGD-4033 and came off a few weeks ago. About two weeks ago I started Retatrutide along with CJC-1295 + Ipamorelin. Since coming off LGD, I’ve also been taking Enclomiphene every day for PCT, and I’m considering staying on it through this cut. I also take Creatine Monohydrate daily.
25M, 5’9, 175 lbs, ~22% BF.
My first week on reta I ran 1mg once a week and felt fine. This past week I increased to 2mg and it was honestly a mistake. I could barely eat for 2–3 days, felt pretty nauseous, and got almost no protein in. It feels like I set myself back a bit from that alone, so I’m definitely going back down to 1mg moving forward.
My goal over the next two months is to get down to around 14% body fat. Ideally that means losing around 10–15 lbs of fat while holding onto as much muscle as possible. Right now I feel pretty deflated, probably from coming off LGD plus that bad week of barely eating. Strength is mostly still there, but I’ve noticed I’m down maybe 1–2 reps on heavier lifts like bench.
I’m planning to keep protein around 150–160g per day and continue with CJC/IPA, enclo, and creatine. My biggest concern is figuring out how aggressive my calorie deficit should be. I don’t want to push it too hard and lose muscle, but I also want to make solid progress in that 2 month window.
Main questions are what kind of calorie deficit would make sense here, whether staying on enclomiphene during the cut is actually beneficial, and if there’s anything else I should tweak to better preserve muscle. Also not sure if getting to ~14% in 2 months is realistic or if I should adjust expectations.
After this cut, the plan is to run another LGD cycle starting from a leaner base and then go into a more controlled bulk.
Any advice or feedback would help a lot, especially from anyone who’s cut on reta or similar after a SARM cycle.
