Changing body composition while eating at maintenance?

[Y2A]

If you eat clean at maintenance level, and work out, can you gain muscle and lose fat, or do you have to do bulk/cut cycles? Thanks.

It will happen without a doubt but you will probably reach a plateau eventually.

if you are a beginner with eating a clean diet, then you probably will see noticeable muscle gain/fat loss simoultaneously. If your more experienced, like Hemants said, it will happen but very slowly and you will hit a plateau eventually.

What can you do when you hit a plateau?

Currently I am trying to bulk up going 20X for calories so I can gain and then I am going to cut again. I think that it may help get past the plateau, but will I hit the same plateau or will i reach my goal.

Take a week off, change up your routine, change up your diet.
