fat on top of abs.
I just feel that I may look particularly skinny at this weight, and I wondered if anyone else was or is in a similar pos
You will look particularly skinny at that weight, absolutely. You probably look pretty skinny at your current weight. It's a question of goal - if you want to be skinny, then congratulations, you are skinny. I'm betting what you want is to be muscular - in which case, skinny is just a stop along the way. Same issue here - I'm waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay under my long term goal in terms of weight, and realistically it'll be a couple years before I get there. I also know I'm guaranteed to have to put up with a couple more cut cycles between now and then, and that for me personally the big gamble is always whether or not my body decides to go into flip-out mode again. That's all just part of the game. So, for the sake of my own sanity, I set intermediary goals at those stops along the way. Like I knew I'd have to get the fat off, so I made being skinny an intermediary goal. That way, I can look at it as "Yay! I've knocked this goal down! NEXT!!" rather than being bummed out that on my long-range goal I've now got to pack on an absurd amount of muscle.
