      lol... thats alright ill pass but really man honestly its about calories. By lifting heavy on low calories there is some argument where youll keep your strength more but youll still be cutting because your under maintenance.

      i'd suggest bulk for 6 months, you will gain a lot of muscle and not look pathetic. Then cut till you are like 12%, then keep bulking

      One of the guys said even if i do heavy weights on a calorie deficit ill cut, so i don't mind that but i do want to loose bodyfat so that's the best way i suppose. do i add cardio to it?

      If you do anything on a calorie deficit you'll cut...(almost anything, don't take that too seriously). Cardio can help, but its not necessary, up to you really

      Up to you. If you cut you may be disgusted with how little lean body mass you have. Should post a pic so we can give a good estimate as to how much bodyfat you actually have, you may not be as fat as you think you are, it may be better to bulk first.

      In my opinion it would be better to cut first, by the end of you bulk you'll look like a pile of lard. Warning though, at the end of your cut you WILL look like an auschwitz survivor. But in the long run you'll look better during your bulk.

      You don't have much lean body mass, so by the end of your cut you are going to look pretty skinny (auschwitz survivor). It'll be best in the long run though imho
