I’m a 25 year old male, 5’11”, current weight of 175 lbs. I recently lost 20 lbs through utilizing the ketogenic diet. My primary goal through using keto was to lose fat while maintaining muscle and it seems that I’ve lost a significant amount of muscle too. I don’t feel comfortable at any weight lower than 175 so I need guidance. I was finally able to get my hands on anavar and test (2nd test cycle) for a summer cut but I’m afraid now it’s too late. Losing the weight did not make me ripped, it made my body look flat which is disappointing because I was lifting the entire way though keto. I do have more ab definition but I was hoping to get more ripped considering I had a muscular frame to work with (6 years weight training). I am an extremely disciplined dieter and have been weighing my foods and counting macros for years so whatever needs to be done diet wise I can accomplish.

What do you guys think I should do to make my gear work best for me? Should I start bulking on a carb based IIFYM diet? Should I stay in maintenance calories on a carb based diet? Should I stay keto in deficit/surplus? I honestly don’t know what to do and it’s driving me crazy. I’ve never ran anavar before so I don’t know what to expect. Someone please show me the way
