Before you run, you must learn to walk.
I would choose to either bulk or cut, then focus on that exclusively for 6 months, then do the opposite for 6 months. As part of this I would weigh and measure all the foods I was eating, and try to eat clean for the most part -- no salty, sugary, processed foods. Eat mostly home cooked meals consisting of a protein, veggies and grains (if you are not on a carb restricted diet). Focus on getting your training on track too.
Once you have done this for a year or two, you should have the knowledge you need to take everything to the next level. Good luck and keep us posted.
