5 ft 9in. Very active with work and gym, 165 pounds.
Want to still gain muscle mass but get my abs back. Not sure what numbers I needs to aim to hit daily.

    Try a standard 40%(Fat)30%(Protein)30%(Carb) macro split

    2500cals to do a lean bulk for your weight

    If you are adding muscle, you will add fat so getting your abs back will be next to impossible. To minimize, go about 250 calories over your maintenance number and lift heavy. Macro splits aren't all that important. Just get your protein and fat grams sorted out and fill the rest with carbs.
