Just some info then:
I have had no sugar in the last 6 weeks, starch, if anything maybe a roll here and there, brown rice and sweet pot only, but in small amounts, no fruit either, only a bit of honey in my oats and that's about it, ive been eating salad and veg and meat and chicken only, im very strict with my diet but in all this time, I am yet to see a 1cm drop on my stomach
Im just worried that if I start cardio ill been eating away at my muscle gains and that's the last thing I want

How the hell am I going to burn that off?
Im 94.8 as of this morning and my target is 102kg
is there no way to get to this eating clean, keeping the muscle and doing cardio if I have to?

and the sweet potatoe later till u pick up weight then back off ...there are various ways of doing this as well like refeeds ect ...also keep in mind u need carbs to build muscle / keep muscle looking full but if u over feed it converts to fat and is stored around and on the stomache...
Use at least 3 grams per kg body weight = protein in your calculation

First get rid of your boep before you bulk. It's much harder to lose abdominal fat after a bulk while holding onto your muscle that you've gained. If you can't see any abs get your bf% down a bit first.
Regarding cardio, it depends on your genetics as some people will really struggle to gain decent lean mass doing more than 3x sessions a week and some will still a good amount of lean mass. If you are aiming to gain 8KG lean mass while doing more than 3x hiit cardio sessions a week you can keep dreaming bro.
