Bro split vs P/P/L?

Aesthetic meaning lower body fat? Just cut cals to stay in a deficit. You need more volume and frequency to build muscle so either bro splits or ppl can work depending on how you set it up

Start at 500 cal deficit. If you're losing more than 2lbs a week consistently then go back to 350. You just need one day rest between muscle groups. Key thing is be consistent in diet and workouts

I think it will really depend more on the specifics of the P/P/L and the bro-split.
For the year you've been at it, how structured has your routine been, is it following a progressive overload scheme? If you're not yet at the level of intermediate lifts, you might not even see much benefit from either program over one with less frequency. I believe in novice lifters there isn't much of a volume and frequency effect.

Looking aesthetic will indeed be a lot about your actual body fat percentage. Your BMI puts you at just into the overweight category. Getting to a lower weight will probably make a lot of aesthetic differences.
Emphasis should be put on that losing more than 2 pounds consistently - a proper deficit will probably drop a lot in the first week as you lose glycogen and the associated water.

I wouldn't recommend either regardless. There is better programming out there available.

Post the template you currently run and the ones you are looking into.

I agree.
