OK, so used to weigh 160 and now I weigh 127 lbs on the scale. I'm 5'3 by the way.

I have some pics of what I look like, sorry they are not the best quality, should I bet bulking or cutting? Think I have too much fat?

I have no specific strength or sport goals, I just want to look decent.

I'd say defiantly bulk. You've lost a good amount so if you bulk you could add some muscle and then cut a little to get that defined look.
 
Bulk. But make it a real clean and slow one. Your obviously a person who stores some bodyfat so you really need to bulk cleanly.
 
Build a good diet around a sound training program, and bulk Brotha.

Do you have questions about diet or training you wish to ask?

Well, "bulking" kind of scares me because it took a while for me to lose this fat and I don't want to gain the fat back.

When your gaining weight what exactly determines how much is gained by fat and what is gained by muscle?

I think I get the weights part, I'm gonna do full body 3 days a week.
And put my cardio down to 3 days 45 mins?

I know the diet is going to be the hardest part for me. I haven't figured that out yet, since I need a calorie surplus now instead.

Im in the same boat.

Since im not trying to be Mr Bulky Bodybuilder my plan is to take it slow, try and gain no more than 0.5llb a week and so most of what i put on should be lean. I'm slowly increasing kcalories, and its just going to take patience and careful use of the scales.

Also, the last bulk i did ending up as an excuse to cheat more often, but when you've spent weeks trying to shift fat im determined to keep it as clean as humanly possible.
