why do i need to cut down? im already on cycle and im bulking. im going to try 3700 cals. it seems as im heavier its harder to gain. i wanna get to 240.

Why do you *need* to cut? You don't need to do anything. Why are we recommending it? Simple. Because you're fat... relatively speaking.

Most of us have tried bulking at a higher BF% at one time or another. Few of us have been happy with the end result - maybe a few more lbs. of muscle, and a lot more fat. Why?

Our bodies tend to partition nutrients more efficiently (in favor of muscle) at lower bodyfat % (~ 12%, depending on the individual). So those who have a higher BF% will have a harder time putting on muscle (like you already stated you're experiencing) and an easier time putting on BF (like you have done), and vice versa for those who are relatively lean.

Enough of a reason?
