Should I Cut or Bulk First?

[adbrickhouse]

I'm 32 , 5'10" 223 lbs (low 20's % ). I've worked out most of life just for enjoyment but have let myself go the past 2 years due to work & a baby. It's time I take care of myself again. I would like some input though. I've never been overweight so it's new for me to approach it from this direction. I thought it would be best to do a cutting phase first to lose 20 or so lbs of fat but I live in PA and it's the middle of winter so I can't go outside to run or bike which is what I like. Could I do a bulking phase now to gain some muscle mass and then when the weather warms up I'll switch to a cutting phase, or is it best to lose the fat first?

cut until you're at 10%
