I'd try upping your calories and protein for about a month before trying anything else. And when I say up, I mean like eating as much as you can several times a day.

See how your body reacts to the added energy and building materials before you try anything else.

judging from you pics... you don't need a cycle. i'd say change your workout... you have to lift a lot heavier and eat a lot more. try this book: "serious strength training" by tudor bompa. it will show you how to "cycle" your workouts to maximize GROWTH.
remember roids have a lot of side effects. they aren't the be-all, end-all. and once you're off them--you'll lose that water weight... and you'll want to go on again in order to feel big.

Based on your poasted pics i would advise against a cycle for now. !year of lifting isnt enough. There are other things you can be doing to get past a platue. here is a list

1) adjust your nutrition if your still eating the same amounts you were 3 months ago then your not giving your body anything to grow with. eat as if you weigh 15lbs more than u do. that way you will have the nutrition to grow with.
2) adjust your workouts every 3-4 weeks. your body usually adjust to training in2.5-3 weeks by changing workouts, sets reps etc you keep the body confused and it has to respond by growing . providing your nutrition is there to support it.
3) adjust your supplements eg. add in bcaa , flax oil , arginine, etc
