Narrative

On visual approach into ZZZ; when I was on the left downwind abeam the numbers for Runway XX; I tried extending approach flaps before extending my landing gear only to find out my flaps were stuck in the takeoff setting. I attempted to trouble shoot while continuing to turn left base for Runway XX. I noticed no popped circuit breakers and I was unable to even retract flaps to fully up position; so I requested a go-around with tower. Tower asked if I'd stay with them or go back to terminal I said I'd stay with tower and in the traffic pattern VFR to run numbers to prepare for a no-flaps landing. I maintained 2;000 feet as requested by Tower to stay in right close traffic while running numbers I needed for a no flaps landing. Approximately 5 minutes later; I landed at ZZZ safely with flaps stuck in the takeoff position. Have to prepare for a potential no flaps landing. But after realizing the flaps were stuck in takeoff position without being able to retract it to fully up position; I made the PIC decision to land using the no flaps landing data I calculated from the POH since that data is more restrictive.
