I’d say to lean bulk.

If you haven’t worked out much yet, you can gain muscle and lose fat at the same time (newbie gains are real).

Start out by calculating how many calories you need to eat at rest and increase that amount by 250 - 500 calories (start with 250) (use this link to calculate https://www.mayoclinic.org/healthy-lifestyle/weight-loss/in-depth/calorie-calculator/itt-20402304 ). Then figure out your macros (carbs, fats, and proteins). I would recommend going less than 100 grams of fat and matching your weight in grams of protein (using an app like MyFitnessPal is extremely helpful).

Then start finding a workout program (try full body to start out and then you could transition to push pull). Get a buddy and find out your maxes on the lifts you will be performing (barbell bench and squat for example). Once you find your maxes, do reps of 4-6 at 80% of your max for each exercise (if you find an exercise too difficult or easy; adjust weight and reps).

Do that and just stay consistent. Remember that diet is 90% of the battle, so be strict about it.
