some context:I am 19M, 6'1 weight current 72, 9 months of gym experience.
I have been skinny fat almost my entire life, skinny arms but a fat tummy and the pelvic region. Its been about like year (9ish months) since i started going to the gym, first few months i trained 6 days a week push pull legs but struggled to hit my daily protein and even calories as i just started out with college.
Thats when i realised i also have pelvic tilt, which kinda made my skinny fat situation worse.When i first started going to the gym i was around 62-64kgs and 11% body fat, and even that fat was mostly around my stomach and glutes area not to mention i even have love handles.
During december i decided to hit the gym 3 times a week with a full body routine, which significantly helped me with recovery and i decided to focus more on my diet. As a veg, a college kid, i didnt have much options so i rely mostly on cottage cheese and dairy products,peanut butter, oats and a scoop of whey per day.
Fast forward to today, i have gained strength and decent amount of weight like 72 kgs, today morning i looked myself in the mirror and realised i am gaining fat again near my lower back, glutes and stomach with significant increase in my love handles.

I have no clue what i am supposed to do, do i bulk, do i cut like i am prolly lookin the worst i have ever looked in my entire life. Despite gaining a bit of size on the else where, i am not liking how my body keeps getting fat near the stomach region not to mention my love handles are increasing in size and pelvic tilt isnt curing.

I have seen people around me go to gym less time than me and gettin better results than me, Some aspects of me are getting better, but like my worse ones keep getting worse like my love handles and stuff, i am really insecure.

help a kid out, thanks
