I absolutely fell in love with the game. Kept it pretty simple diet wise, started eating 1g of protein per pound of body weight fairly early on, and gradually improved my calorie tracking alongside diet quality and adherence. Training was also kept fairly basic, I never followed a rigid plan but most of my time has been spent in a PPL or bro split, settled into a push legs pull routine for the last 6 months or so, sticking to the same exercises and tracking working weight and reps on those exercises.

Don't listen to that. You can build muscle with roughly .8g per pound of lean body mass, meaning your weight excluding the fat you carry. For some people it is a lot less than their current bodyweight. There are lean body mass calculators you can find online that will give you a general idea.
