Any bodybuilders just starting out or coming back from a long break?

How are things going so far? I was just wondering if there was anyone else in a similar situation?
After a break of about 8-9 years (I went from 180lbs, 12%BF down to 159lbs 26%BF) I've been slowly getting myself back into training and reintroducing my old (good) habits. I just started my first serious cut a few weeks ago to try and reduce my BF% before I bulk next year.
Stats: 5'5, 28, M,
I started at the start of Nov at 159lbs, 26%BF (41lbs fat, 118lbs lean mass)
And I am currently at 153lbs, 23%BF (35lbs fat, 118 lean mass)
Dropped 6lbs of pure fat in 3 weeks... pretty chuffed.
How are other people doing?
