Hey guys. So I have been lurking around here for awhile and there is a wealth of knowledge here. My situation is a little bit different. I'm not really super fat, I am overweight but it's all stomach. Outside of my stomach there's not much fat. I am in the beginning stages of a strict diet. Also I workout 4 days a week. I would say I'm about 260-270ish 6'1 but I'm a naturally big dude (big not fat). Can I cycle to increase fat loss. I'm not looking for a magic pill or anything I just want to accelerate the process. My goal is to get the look I want, I'm ready for the grind, but I would like advice as far as a cycle.
Want to start first cycle and need advice

When you have a high body fat % it means that a lot of the Testosterone you would use on a cycle will aromatize into estrogen. Managing estrogen on a cycle with high body fat is really difficult. We usually recommend that guys getnto 15% body fat before using AAS for this reason. What is your body fat % at currently?
What kind of diet are you running to lower your body fat %?
How old are you? How long have you been training for?

Fat is fat. It all has the Aromatase Enzyme where ever it is located. Can be your arms, belly or ass.
Keto is a great way to go if regular diets haven't worked for you in the past. Many find success with Carb Cycling too. Ultimately it comes down to being in a caloric deficit.

So if you have never lifted weights before, played a sport or even cardio, you need to get on a training program.
You are way too young to use AAS too. Your endocrine system / HPTA is still developing. Read the link below in my signature for more info.
Spend your money on a Diet Coach. It will cost you a lot less, be a lot safer and you will get much better results.

No. No way to lose body fat in a specific body part. You have to lose it across your entire body.

Start going to the gym and lift weights. Do the big compounds lifts. Bench Press. Squats. Deadlifts. Etc. This will add muscle which will in turn burn more calories. Your metabolism will increase which will help you lose body fat.
You don't need a magic pill. You just need to train and run a good diet. It is hard work, but it will pay off.

Is he sitting on the couch eating Cheetos and losing weight? Or is he dieting and training?
Perhaps he was hypogonadal too.

250mg/wk is a TRT dose. Sounds like your friend has Hypogonadism. Do you have Hypogonadism? What is your Total Testosterone at?
Is your friend lowering his body fat because of the test or because of his diet and training? His dose of Test is just putting him back at his normal TT levels if he is not hypogonadal.

Anavar is not a fat burner.
You are male, right? Then you know that you cannot run Anavar or any other oral Steroid without injectable testosterone right? You have been doing your homework, right? Do you understand why males cannot run oral only cycles?

Read megatrons thread in his siggy - that is some of the best advice you will get. I know the feeling of wanting to start a cycle but honestly being best prepared so the money isn't wasted is the best thing you can do. trust me when I say this, getting your diet in check and your BF% down before you even think of using AAS is extremely important. or it will all be for nothing. and mega hit it right on the head when he said you were too young, your body is still developing and unless you have a history of low T then you are at your peak right now and diet and exercise will do you wonders. check out the diet forum, and even reach out to 3J and see if he can get you setup on a diet plan for a year or so and post your results and keep checking back. research research, and when you think you are ready research some more
