Poor picture. Its hard to guess body fat from one pic, why worry?
I would say high teens?!

With out legs its hard to tell, my upper body is very lean i have viens on abbs and back but legs and **** are still soft.
Of the part of you that i can see i would say mid teens probably 15% or so.

If i have to be honest i would simply say focus on gaining some muscle

You may end up fidning you diet down to a state that appears untrained

carb cycling is great for bodybuilders but do you need it?
as for the scales? bin them, the number mean little

i dont wanna be too heavy .ive been training on and off for 10 years .i was 15st with a 32 inch wasit and ended up slipping a disc in my back 2 years ago.i have had on going problems since with my lower back and eneded up being 15st 5 with a 36 inch waist so thats why i wanted to drop the weight .carrying alot of weight either fat or muscle aint good if you have a bad lower back injury.im awaiting a second surgery in france late this year so i wanted to get lighter as i wont be training for a while after i have had the procedure done.
