what do i need to improve myself, apart from that im fat

I’d say focus on weight loss for now, your other flaws will be more noticeable afterward

also does anybody have tips on how to go on an aggressive cut without loosing a lot of muscle?

Calorie deficit, exercise, high protein intake and quality sleep

how to go on an aggressive cut without loosing a lot of muscle?

most ppl when cutting drop the intensity of their normal workouts. I just helped someone loose 20lbs in a month and a half going from 185 to 165 at 5'11. The biggest thing he did that helped the most for not just losing but hitting new personal records is he kept up the intensity of his normal workouts. He went to 1200-1000 calories a day (a relatively extreme deficit), hit the gym for 45 minutes to 1.5 hours a day with very little rest and to real failure (not just when you think you can't anymore) with only one day of rest (also not recommended), and considered his cardio to be a separate workout entirely only doing it two or three times a week usually in the form of playing basketball with friends or another dissociative activity so you don't realize how much cardio you have actually been doing. Cleaned up his diet and did not at all fix his sleep schedule regardless of how much I encouraged proper rest. Results come to those who work at it but sometimes you need a little push so let your homies know that you want to do cardio and see if anyone wants to go to the pool, play basketball, go on a bike ride, or even just fuck around at a park and put it on the schedule so you have someone who will hold you accountable. You seem to be still too young for roiding to be a good idea since it could affect your maturation in sometimes less than ideal ways. Not every workout plan works for everyone so see what actually works for you or has worked in the past before making a choice but then see that choice all the way through. Good luck bro

thats just terrible advice im ngl, so an extreme calorie deficit, high intensity workouts and ur wondering why he cant sleep at night jfl. his cortisol is clearly through the roof, his melatonin is reduced, his ghrelin is to the fucking moon. this is the worst way to lose weight and almost guarantees that you will lose significant muscle mass, have cardiac atrophy, liver dysfunction, kidney stress, neurotoxicity like wtf

u should eat a few hundred below maintenance on any given day and maybe a 24 hour fast once per week whilst weight training, its really that easy

I want to add that this is absolutely NOT sustainable otherwise yes these problems do occur if such crazy metrics are followed for even a few months. DO NOT ATTEMPT MY SUGGESTION for longer than two months!!! He's had problems sleeping more than 5 hrs per day since middle school unfortunately. I wish a simple rebalance of cortisol would help him with that issue but fortunately it allowed him to do the above with no impact to his sleep. As for cardiac atrophy that was a large concern of mine when he told me what he was doing so I made sure to monitor through metabolic stressors. @lowkeydeadinside is super 100% correct and here is even evidence in the abstract of a peer reviewed journal "prolonged fasting profoundly inhibits the synthesis of new cardiac protein" https://www.ahajournals.org/doi/10.1161/01.RES.60.6.933 but there are some ways to prevent/reduce this occurrence such as having most of your calories at one time, drinking lots of water throughout the day, and reducing other factors by keeping workouts shorter and having a quality diet (even if it is a reduced quantity). The case I have mentioned is EXTREME and isn't sustainable or healthy but it's had overall great results for his mental health and gotten him to a physique goal of his under the timeline he wanted to hit it and he has now slowed down a lot on the deficit to nearly what @lowkeydeadinside has recommended and continues to lose weight while hitting new goals in the gym just much slower.

good skin with a shit diet, ovaa for diet copers

the study you linked is referring to completely fasted rabbits which is obviously more extreme and they saw negative results in 7 days, obviously on a calorie restriction the best way to not inhibit protein synthesis it to have a protein supplement and eat mostly high protein meals. tbh i wouldnt personally feel safe to do that for more than a month but u can take the risk and u will probably br fine as long as there is no pre existing heart condition

Completely agree, regardless of what you do calories wise if you are trying to keep muscle mass protein is a must have! I didn't mention it in this instance because I felt it a no brainer, but I probably should've. Thanks for the fact check
