Was hitting some shoulders but kept getting compliments on my back, pretty proud of my progress so far what you guys think?

28lbs lost in a month

251lbs end of May -> 223lbs end of June

At least 15k steps a day, fasted cardio 20 minutes in the morning then again before bed, and I cut out almost all carbs except pre/intra-workout - also my first meal (egg whites, spinach, and turkey bacon) was around noon every day

Roughly half of what I lost was water weight since I was just coming off a bulk where I was eating about 2kg of (cooked) rice a day, causing me to retain a lot of water (your body stores carbohydrates as glycogen in your muscles, for roughly every 1g of glycogen stored 3-4g of water is stored alongside)

Wish I was as good at gaining weight as losing it

Not natty

been going to the gym for almost a year now and i wanted to know what i can improve. also i need help with eating good food its hard for me to stay in a surplus. i am 188cm and 81kg and 19y/o.

So I used to train consistently and got to this point where I was happy with my weight and aesthetic but I’ve fallen off the ladder again and feel like my progress wasn’t worth it. For my body type/ build would can be recommended to bulk so my body actually fills out more. My shoulders are naturally broad so I’m not worried there my main focus points are my forearms and biceps I know it sounds like every gym goers “dream” but now I know I can achieve my goal in other areas I’d appreciate how I can further grow my biceps and forearms whilst also filling out my body shape.
