hey dale.
Dude dont look into things too deep mate. If your serious about reaching that goal of yours and hitting a leanish 12 stone then f*ck ya abs. Stay relatively lean like you are now and just eat like a horse and train like a mofo, in time work your way upto 13 stone. Then do a cut, drop a stone or so and your there!!
You cant be a tart with ya abs if your serious about bulking mate. Dont get so fat that your gut hangs right over your trousers, but dont worry about a bit of fat as you bulk. Try and stay lean and bulk/ build muscle at the same time is gonna be a long painful process.
In other words, man up and have a beer belly like me
