Default Bulking for competition

For the past 4 months or so now ive been trying to bulk up pretty good for my attempt at my first show. im about 5'10" 215-217 lbs. ive been bulking up pretty good.

during this time ive cut pretty much all my cardio and im noticing im holding a good amount of unwanted fat on my lower back. it looks bad with a good V shaped back and decent thickness. my thing is i was a fat kid and ive always haeld fat there, but it seems to be getting a bit worse.

my diet is still kind of clean. i keep my carbs to fruits and mostly alot of wholewheat pasta and oatmeal in the morning. my protein consists of eggs (whole and whites) chicken , steak tuna and powder. my fats r my eggs, peanut butter almonds and alot of olive oil that i put on my pasta. now sometimes ill throw in cheese and othre things. i cheat here and there and dont worry too much since its bulking season.

my big quetion is 12 weeks out of a show, is that fat gona be burned away (if everything , diet and cardio is in check) ? or for my first show should i diet a bit longer since i prob hold more fat than most ppl who have done the insane dieting and have that thin skin look alrdy?
