Clean bulk better than cutting diet?

[Josh99]

I was wondering if doing a clean bulk is more beneficial that being on a cutting diet for me. Here are my stats
Calorie maintenance is around 2900
Height:5'8
Weight:175
Age:18
I have a visible 4 pack but want to get a six pack.
Also just ordered jack3d(for 3rd time love this stuff), optimum Creatine, and HEAT stack.

For the last few weeks I have been carb cycling which I like but limit myself to about 2200-2400 calories a day but I was wondering if I bump it up to like 200 above maintenance but throw in cardio everyday(I love a 3-4 mile jog) wouldn't that be better?

Also would this count as a clean bulk? Not exactly sure what that means. Is like you are on a cutting diet where you watch what foods you are eating and how much but you have a calorie surplus?

I'd like to know what you think and what you would recomed. Thanks

Oh forgot my workout routine is
Sunday-chest, tri, shoulder with 20-30 mins of HIIT after
Monday-off (wondering if I should jog 3 miles would love to but told not to)
Tuesday-back, bi, legs and slow cardio after
Wed-off (want to jog)
Thursday-chest, tri, shoulder with HIIT right after
Friday- back, bi, legs slow cardio after
Saturday- right when I wake up I don't eat and do slow cardio for 30 mins
