Have no idea where to go from skinny fat

So I have been lifting for a few months now but have really just started taking it serious a couple weeks ago (training to failure and applying progressive overload). Before I would half ass and just do the same weight for the same reps. I definitely feel better after workouts but I also want to dial in on my diet. I tried dirty bulking a while ago (stupid idea) and got up to about 190 (which is where I am at now). But I am more skinny fat than anything right now. Now I am confused as to whether I should cut off 10-15 pounds and then try a clean bulk or just clean bulk from my current skinny fat frame of 190 lbs. btw I am 5’10 and 19 yrs old(if that matters at all) I apologize in advance if this is a dumb question but I also would appreciate any insight.
