In a nutshell assuming you have a solid routine in place:

If you are not growing, add more calories or reduce cardio.

If you are adding too much fat, reduce calories or add cardio.

Sure your BF is 25% ? that's pretty high for only 5ft 10, 165lbs.

IMO, when i Bulk i try and keep it as clean as possble, no junk food, getting my carbs from oat cakes, weetabix, wholegrain's ect, also i don't go to mad on my daily calorie intake, some people just go all out with calories, but add to much BF, imo, but thats up to them. Of course when you bulk you expect to gain a little extra fat. I think cardio is still importent during bulking, i usely do 2, 45min sessons a week when bulking.

BF % doesnt really mean as much as people make out.

Good diet, well planned training. With that - eat, monitor and adjust accordingly.

For the sake of it, If I remember your avatar photo you had up before of yourself correctly, I dont think your 25%.

i'd drop the idea of lean bulking and instead go on a bulk.
not a see food diet...

if you want to get big then you need to realise that its a slow and painful drawn out process trying to do it keeping your 6 pack

Your best bet is to start off just above maintenance cals and slowly build up from there.
