Should I be looking to bulk or cut? I dont have much muscle I suppose and Im not obese either, most of the fat is in my gut tho which looks terrible
If you want to be bigger, you should bulk. If you want to be smaller, you should cut.

Assuming the weights you posted are in pounds and not kilos, you should do neither. Eat good food till you’re full, and eat whenever you’re hungry.
It might also be a good idea to track macros and eat at or slightly above maintenance. Keep running what you’re running I think I was at an awkward skinny-fat place when I started bulking from your weight too

Naw its cool, I go by pounds myself
Depends on your goal. If you want to look good, you never should bulk at your fat %. You have solid 15% to cut first. But maybe you are going for pure strength or aby other goal than physique. Then do whatever you feel like. But the thing above is for sure. Want to look good? Don’t bulk at 20% bf.
Eat in a small surplus and lift harder.
