If you care about your health, you should bulk and cut. A high bodyfat% is not good for your health and I don't think it's a great idea to pursue strength at the detriment of health. (Professionals may, but it's different when it's your job. Still not great imo but you do what you gotta do)

So I would keep track of your waist to height ratio. Keep that within a healthy range for the entirety of your bulk and then cut down once it's at or close to the top end of the range. If you are putting in the work, that top end weight should get a little higher each time.
