Is a recomp feasible for my situation?

So a little about myself. I have been weightlifting for 3 years, although early september I broke my wrist and wasn't able to get back into it until december. I have gotten nowhere and am still skinny-fat. I finally decided to get my testosterone levels checked and they were LOW at 226 Low ng/dL 348 - 1197. I continued weight lifting 4-5 days a week, (I track my workouts and realized I wasn't going 5-6 days a week). After a month my levels shot up to 837 ng/dL 348 - 1197 01 with my free being 26.7 High pg/mL 9.3 - 26.5 02.

I notice my face is very soft looking but I am only 160 lbs at 5'9"

Do you guys think a recomp is feasible now that I am on clomid and I can burn fat/gain muscle at the same time? If not, will it be better to bulk?

Pose was taken this morning, relaxed.

Oh yes I am continuing with the clomid as the doctor said it takes a few months for my body to respond it the high levels, but he gave me the option of TRT if I still don't feel the difference.

Understanding Your Hormones

Estradiol (E2)

A form of estrogen produced from testosterone. Important for bone health, mood, and libido. Too high can cause side effects; too low can affect well-being.

DHT

Dihydrotestosterone is a potent androgen derived from testosterone. Affects hair growth, prostate health, and masculinization effects.

Free Testosterone

The biologically active form of testosterone not bound to proteins. Directly available for cellular uptake and biological effects.
