Possible alternative: Minicut. If you're too short into your bulking phase, you're too weak or you don't know if you should cut or keep bulking, do a minucut for like 4 weeks and then continue bulking. Dr Mike Israetel from Renaissance Periodization has a great vid on it.

Looking good man. It should come down to how you feel, if you feel healthy and comfortable where you are, why add extra body fat to what I perceive as a healthy body fat percentage, why don't you just maingain from here? Bulking past a certain point will only lead to the inevitable yo-yo dieting, where you'll cut again and then bulk, you could just maintain where you're at now and I'm sure you'll make even more progress. Obviously it's your call to make, only you can choose what you want to do, it's just something I hope you'll consider.

Muscle loss isn't inevitable, he could maintain his weight, eat enough protein and he would gain muscle and burn fat at the same time, if he's at maintenance, then any extra calories needed to build muscle could come from the fat he burns, no need to lose muscle, thing is though he could cut too and not lose muscle, say he cuts in a 200 calorie defecit to around 18%

What if you do a bulk but also like 30-45 mins of cardio everyday?

[@nmljeremy]

When you are bulking you are basically consuming more calories than what you burn. It basically means that if you burn 300 calories in a cardio you should eat them later. If not you will just maintain your weight.

[@TaxEvasi0n]

Yeah I think 20% is the max anyone should go on a bulk. Too far and you start to move in to the chubby phase and the weight cut becomes too long. Chip down to 12-15% then bulk up again until you reach the size you want.

[@jakecavendish3470]

It's not so much a body fat issue as a muscle mass issue. You might need to bulk for up to 4 years before you are ready to cut. So many young guys go on a cut before they have even built a good base level of muscle

Of course you shouldn’t listen to this guy. 15% is the top percentile of leanness. That means that someone who is 15% is leaner than 99% of people. Going to 12% is insane, let alone as a child! There are some reasons to be exotically lean, but as a child you shouldn’t interfere with your own adolescent development. I’m sorry he didn’t emphasize how extreme 15% is let alone 12%, I’m sure it would make a lot of people very confused as to what healthy is
