    Impossible to answer since all bodies has different demands. We have no idea what your metabolic rate is, daily life, age, body type, exercise regime, potential usage etc etc...
    4k makes me fat, and I train imo hard, so for me it would be excess.
    Cardio is great overall, so I would recommend you get that in regardless, in some form (e.g. you can fight, swim or HIIT as well).

    My suggestion is don't read so much on what others say you need to get in the shape they are in.
    Start with the basics.
    Count your TDEE and add personal experience, find the maintainance and add 250-500 a day on that if you want to gain.
    You want to bulk slowly, or you will just get fat.
    Your fatcells can expand much faster than your muscles can grow, no reason getting fat thinking that will give more muscle.

    Stay consistent at least 2 weeks at a time before making adjustment is my own recommendation, to see what works and not.
    Your body adjust to consistency, chaos will make your body want to "save".

    Great frame bro! I would say judging by the pictures that you have a good enough idea how your body works.
    With that amount of muscle it will be harder to gain lean musclesmass. Sure, you can always aim on water retention and fat to reach the 110, but
    I bet your goal is to show that body, not hide it.

    If you have hit a plateu, I would increase caloric intake just a notch, no more than 500/ daily still. My speculations are that you are on some kind of juice
    as well, so you might need to widen your horizon and try something else for the next cycle. With the right regime you can easily start competing if you
    are not doing that already to some degree.

    Cardio is healthy, so I will still get that in somehow. In our line of interest, we want to stay alive and healthy for as long as we can.
    You can also aim on hitting muscles you haven't given as much attention, since they can potentially grow faster, giving you that weight
    you seek and give you an even nicer frame.

    Either way, you have done amazing so far!
