New to Evo looking for advice on next steps, never used an old-style forum before, hopefully my formatting and post location is ok:
My end goal is to reach a point where I can remain within striking distance either side of 10% bodyfat while still looking big in clothes.
My question is: to reach my goal should I cut further to single digits before bulking, or should I bulk up now then cut down to single digits? I'm trying to build a long-term plan, as I'm not sure how to get there. What gear should I consider? Also, I'll be in New Zealand over the next few months for work, so I'll be limited to what gear I can get while I'm over there from the Evo approved suppliers. I'm planning to do thorough, consistent logs on here for my future cycles to keep me accountable.
Been on TRT (prescribed) for 1yr, and I'd used MK677 intermittently. Recently finished this: 2 months 30mg dbol, 175mg test, 100 cal surplus lean bulk, followed by 1 month 300mg test, 50mg var, 50mcg t3, 4mg reta, 1000 cal deficit mini cut. According to dxa scans, before my bulk, I was 14.5% bodyfat 150lbs at 165cm. At the end, I was 158lbs 12% - the dbol edema prob skewed the bf %. Haven't had a dxa since the bulk, but I weighed 150lbs at the end of the mini cut, and I assume I didn't lose much actual muscle tissue with that cycle. I'll attach pics for all of those progress points below. I'm currently maintaining at 152lbs on my TRT cruise.
I'm currently thinking of either bulking up for two or three months in a 200-300 calorie surplus with some form of Nandrolone to pack on some size and increase my BMR due to the added tissue then cutting down (as I currently eat just 2000-2200cal to cut at a normal pace), or cutting down firmly into single digits first with Mast or Primo then slowly lean bulking to 10-11%. Any suggestions or advice would be greatly appreciated.

Apologies for the bad and inconsistent photos, but I didn't originally intend to log my progress or post these online, so they're basically just shots from when I felt good after looking in the mirror
. They're all in decent top-down lighting, exhaled, with my abs slightly braced.

End of var mini cut (bad angle, but my love handles and lower belly fat were significantly reduced):
