: Skinny-fat 20M – Need advice on protein intake + gaining muscle & losing fat

So I’m a 20-year-old guy, 5'11", around 70–75kg. I have a skinny-fat body type — small chest and arms but fat around my belly and thighs. Lately, I’ve gotten serious about training. My daily routine: • 1 hour gym (strength training) • 10,000 steps • 1 km swimming I’ve started taking whey protein but only 1 scoop (20gm protein) per day because I’m scared of kidney issues from high protein intake. I’ve heard I should take 1g of protein per kg of body weight, but I’m unsure what’s safe and effective. What I need help with: • How much protein should I take daily to gain muscle safely? • How many scoops of whey are okay with my current workout plan? • What should I focus on to build muscle and lose fat at the same time? Would really appreciate some advice from people who’ve been through this. Thanks
