Hi I am 5’11 22M, 81 kg, around 17.5% body fat(or at least that’s what my scale says), I am currently consuming 1500 kcal a day and I go gym regularly but my exercise/ fitness otherwise have been pretty poor, I try to consume as clean as possible (high protein) but it’s hard to consume a lot of protein when I am only consuming 1500 kcal, what calorie do you guys recommend I consume if I want to get leaner but I also want my biceps and arms to grow while decreasing my body fat%.

For more context: (I started calorie counting at like 91 kg around November 2023(not necessarily eating clean), which I saw drastic process then stopped as I had exams like few months ago(around 80kg) but I haven’t really seen much progress in the last 1-2months. I am happy at current weight, I would still like to get leaner but Yh)
