How do you still have visible abs - didn’t you finish your cut?!

Yes, but what’s the point of cutting if you’re not going to maintain any of that leanness you worked so hard for? Nope. I am reverse dieting, so technically I’m not out of the ‘diet’ phase yet. I’m doing a bit less in terms of steps and I’m eating more than I was at the end of the cut a few weeks ago, but I’m exiting the deficit gradually. The purpose being to allow the body to adjust to higher cals instead of instantly adding a ton of cals and dropping the steps right down to baseline straight away, which just makes you gain back the fat you lost. Your body needs time to readjust after a period of caloric deficit in order to undo the metabolic adaptations to that deficit. So yeah I won’t stay super lean forever but the goal is to stay as lean as possible while increasing cals as much as possible and using those cals to push some serious weight (for me) in my training sessions.

Note also that I genetically am not predisposed to storing much fat in my abdomen region. My body stores fat more preferentially in my legs and glutes ‍♀️ it is what it is. We’re all different!
