Ok so I’ve been unsatisfied with my body for all of my teenage life, and I fooled around on various programs and diets, but never really got serious about it until 4 months ago when I buckled down and went full force into training and dieting.
Then, 2 months ago, I found out that I was hypergonadic, and had to be injected with Test everyweek. My testosterone went from 271 to 840
I want to now get even more serious about improving my body, I need to know how I should proceed as far as diet, routine, and direction (keep cutting or bulk?). My goals are to just be lean, be strong, be healthy, and be fit.
Here is my progress:
After Pictures:

-At least 1-2 gram of protein per body weight, probably more.
-Carbohydrates only in the first 3 meals, and only fiborous, slow digesting ones
-Essential fatty acids in last 3 meals.
I NEVER cheat. Ever. I have stuck to this diet with no cheat meals for 4 months.
Routine:
I don’t really have a good routine, right now I am doing a workout that the Army made to prepare people for Special Forces training, here is the link, it is essentially a bunch of hiking, running, pushups, pull ups, and situps

So Finally, my questions are:
- Should I cut or bulk?
- What weight lifting program should I be on?
- How could I improve my diet?
- How many calories a day should I be eating? I’m not sure on this one.
